The point is, you made a totally bogus and unsubstantiated claim: you claimed that projects that are written in C would be (direct quotes from your *idiotic* claims): "But it would stop being as hackable." and "if you are aiming for a job that gets finished and then no longer touched."

Both of those claims were pure and unadulterated *CRAP*.
Which I pointed out. You just seem to have trouble admitting it.
And both of those claims seemed to be the whole gist of your argument.

If you make your arguments based on stuff that is obviously crap and untrue, don't be surprised when people then consider your arguments to be less than convincing.
