This whole discussion is pretty silly, but...

The above comment implies that a computer that doesn't have command
lines and files "is half-assed at best".  Most of the computers one uses
do not have these features.  For example, the computer in my VCR, my
terminal, my microwave, my thermostat, etc.  I would be willing to bet
that none of these is currently programmed in C, but it would be
possible for C to be used.
