  1. I know enough C to know that I should leave C to the people who know how how to write C. For example, a large part of my PhD work regarded matrix multiplication. I wrote a multicore version in C, an extremely multicore version in CUDA... and then ended up mostly using numpy on a single thread to take advantage of the hundreds of collective lifetimes the numpy authors had spent on optimization tricks and algorithmic shortcuts.

  2.  @anon_y_mousse  I think you're the one missing the point: just because you can write cross-platform code doesn't mean you get it for free--GTK and SDL are themselves abstraction layers that map your system calls to the OS. You're also implying that Linux binaries can't run natively on Windows and vice versa, but cygwin and WINE would beg to differ.
