@0xf0 Honestly, 90% of the reason I'd go with C is that I'm not really confident in my ability to use anything else. Sure, I probably knew how at one point, but nowadays, since I really only use C (and some asm when needed for OS Dev), it's the only one I still know how to use without having to look up every single little thing.

The other 10% is it being a UNIX CLI tool that needs to interface with the system. Might as well just go straight for C for that.
