Pretty much any decent language has a way to call out to C. I wrote a portion of a book on Tcl's C API, for instance, and it's very easy to farm out computationally intensive work to C code, as it is in Python, Ruby and most other things, one way or the other.



I suppose a response to the spirit of the remark as a whole rather than one exemplary detail would be asking a lot.


The spirit of using C for web applications is: it'd be faster and simpler just to publish your root password and IP address to the web.


Insights like these are so rare. You must have worked really hard for them.
