> possibly cargo-culting others that did it. Agreed, I don't see the point of mentioning the language for compiled, stand-alone programs and standard, C-compatible libraries. The resulting binary is the same (well, of the same nature at least) whichever language it was compiled from. It only has a use for programs and libraries in interpreted (in the widest sense of the word) languages, which can only be used together with libraries in the same language, or from programs in the same language, or with a specific external runtime or virtual machine.
