Apache and the likes are not written in C? I don't recall a lot of HTTP servers that are written in anything but C. There are few written in Java. Some have most of their extension modules written in a scripting language. But the core is C. Like it or not (I don't). It's the same game with OS. Except IIRC VMS was written in something other than C, and it's considered very secure and stable. What a coincidence.
