[Snip stuff about Scheme]
Scheme is a really nice, elegant language that's fun to hack with, but at the end of the day, if people were writing Nginx, or the Windows kernel, or HFT systems in Scheme, you can bet programmers would be pushing pretty hard for special exceptions and hooks and stuff for better performance or lower-level access, and eventually you'd end up with another C.
Walter said "all programming languages", but he's obviously referring to the programming market D is in.
