Whether you have interpreted him correctly is not for me to say, but what I
am in a position to say is that I've written plenty of "BDP" applications
in C, and I found it a very suitable language for the purpose. That is not
to say that there are no other such languages, of course, but it's one of
the better ones. I've used quite a few languages for "BDP", and I'd rank C
in the top two of those few. Whether I'd place it first or second is a
tough call. (C++ ranks a close third in my estimation.)

Loads. Absolutely loads.
