The REAL EXPERT PROGRAMMING manifesto

[code]
1. MONOSPACE OR GTFO
2. VI OR GTFO, RINSE, REPEAT
3. IF INPUT IS FROM UNTRUSTED SOURCE, CHECK THE SHIT FIRST.  CHECK ALL UNTRUSTED INPUT.  EVERY SINGLE ITEM.  BUFFER OVERFLOWS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED
4. ONE STATEMENT PER LINE, BRACES ARE STATEMENTS
5. JAVA SUCKS
6. SLOW HASKELL IS SLOW
7. IF YOU SEGFAULT, YOU DIE FOR REAL
8. I WOULD PROGRAM IN ASM BUT I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO IN THE 20 YEARS IT WOULD TAKE ME TO WRITE A DECENT PROGRAM IN IT
9. UNIX NEVER DIES
10. GIVE IT AWAY, IT'LL BE CRACKED EVENTUALLY ANYWAY

RMS called, he wants his Emacs operating system back.

And your #3 fails.  Buffer overflows can happen in any language that allows direct access to memory and supports notion of null-terminated strings or 0-byte or other sentinel delimited data structures.  LOL DURR I WILL PUT MY PROGRAM TEXT SEGMENT RIGHT NEXT TO MY DATA SEGMENT FUQIN EXPERT PROGRAMMER

Commandline pwns all.  You're just lazy, and haven't achieved Satori, and don't know about ncurses, or finch, or ssh, bwm, vnstat, links2, iftop, whiptail, lftp, azureus console, and a whole bunch of nice time-tested tools, software, and libraries that require NO graphics card.
