 Or maybe because Unix, Linux and Windows are written in it. to use any 
of the system calls in those that do not have wrappers provided involves 
understanding C calling procedure at the least. While Delphi and Visual 
Basic support the Windows 32 interface they do not directly support the 
Windows NT functions left over from NT which some programmers still use.

 The year I bought my first home computer. 16K of memory and Basic in 
ROM. The alternative languages available were assembler and tiny Pascal. 
There was probably a Forth available but I never came across it. My 
second machine was an ST and I got HiSoft Object Forth for that. My 
current machine has Delphi and WinForth on it. IIRC HiSoft supplied 
Basic, C , Fortran and Pascal compilers as well.
