Right. We should not make the false claim that it can't be done.
Given enough resources, almost anything can be done in almost
any language. And even if the language is as clumsy as C, enough
careful programmers and enough time can produce a good system.
A related point is that the world's best language with a lack of time
and/or people cannot compete with the world's worst if the latter
has the kind of resources (people/time) that Linux has.
(And bad as it is, C is probably not the worst.)

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you
what can't be done and why. Then do it.
