Hi all, and hat off for your amazing work. Fomr a developer POV it's really understood.
From the same perspective, though, I'd like to ask... why using interpreted libraries to do some job on a machine that, say-what-you-want, has not horsepower, instead of using the mother-of-all-these-new-kiddo-languages, AKA "C"?
No pun intended; just curious. Java, C# (AKA Microsoft's Java, BTW) are powerful tools in their (niche) realm (that is: web interaction, mainly, where they excel (TM ???), especially C# from my own experience), let alone the various Ruby / Rust / LUA / Python (despite it is maybe the only great tool I can embrace ATM)... They drain CPU power at least double that's needed to a native C application.
Now, call me bigot, call me old-school, call me stereotyped... If there is one thing I have learned in my 40+ years career as a developer, is that there is a tool for everything, but not an everything-tool.
P.S.
It is evident that I am in love(and am devoted to, as well) with the C language... but in the end, once you master it... who isn't?

Kent... this is most probably going to trigger some memories on your side. I am not meant to overload you, just in case...
