A good example to illustrate this point might be procmail:

The comment says "seems to be relatively bug free", but I think it's
fair to say that figuring out what that stuff even does is a lot harder
than figuring out the average C++ program, and smaller/well written C++
programs in particular.

Would systemd be bug-free, it would still suck. It's not only the language
or bugs. PulseAudio is C, too ^_^
