That's a silly thing to say.
All the networking code for Python, Ruby, Perl, Haskell, Java, Scala, Clojure, Erlang, and just about every other language in existence eventually makes calls to the sockets API, which is written entirely in C.
Where were the "Ruby is unfit for networking code" comments for all the recent Rails remote code execution exploits?
Lazy developers will write unsafe code in any language.
