I love this one.  Clearly, your are from the "C is the only language worth
programming in" camp.

Let's take a hypothetical case.  OSF releases Motif, and the 
toolkit is written in FORTRAN.  So now the one and only toolkit which you
don't have any problems with only comes with a FORTRAN API.  Or pick another
one.  What if it derived from something written for a PC in BASIC?

Hmmm.  Guess it depends on what your frame of reference is.
