  Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but 
  keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge 
  reason to use C.

Now that's a stupid argument to bring up. Commercial software development is were the most stupid mistakes are done and repeated.

"Just to annoy mainstream commercial software developers" would be a good reason.
