This just talks about your personal skills (or lack of) in C. I know people that can write an application in C faster than most can do in Python.



You know, I was going to point out how amazingly brain dead that comparison was, and how inappropriate it was to try to guess my skill level in various languages based on my claim that a language that requires 1/20 the LOC is 50x faster.
