So? Linux was basically written in C. That doesn't make it essentially
a C programming language. And the same can be said for most of Windows.

Come to think of it, I think most of VBScript.NET is written in C. Does
that make it basically a C language, also? How about Excel? Or Open
Office?

Just because something was written in C doesn't mean it is basically C.
