I think the comment just reflects that most people don;t realise there's a world other
than web apps or large corporate apps. Us poor embedded people often struggle with things
like 8k (yes, kilo) bytes of RAM. C#, C++, Java, PERL, python, Erlang, etc. ain't gonna go
there. And the bozos like the person quoted don't realise there are more embedded devices
than any other sort of computing platform.
