Well, its all true, but... it doesn't (or isn't intended) to mean that 
we intend to rewrite any C code into PostScript!

In fact the reverse is more generally true these days.

Where it makes sense to deal in PostScript (as the docs say, when 
dealing primarily with PostScript data structures or operations that 
**only** affect the PostScript interpreter) we tend to write code in 
PostScript. Where we are not interacting with the PostScript interpreter 
we tend to write in C. In general we are more likely to move PostScript 
code into C than the reverse.
