I think that if you were to poll the users of an OS about what matters to them, the language it was implemented in would be at the absolute bottom of the list.

It may matter to the author of the article. That's fine. To the users? I'm pretty sure that hardtoreason correctly reflects their attitude.

And if you're writing an OS, but don't care about the users? Well, write it however matters to you, because you aren't likely to have users who care, because you aren't likely to have users at all.

Counterpoint: Windows 10.


Touche. (Though even with Windows 10, my larger point still stands - nobody cared what language it was written in.)
