    something that I am seeing more and more with the rise of ARM devices running Linux distros. When I compile my C program on my Intel X86-64 laptop, I can't use that binary for my Raspberry Pi. I would have to recompile it on the RPI or cross compile it. C isn't very portable.

    C is very portable - you'd need to *re-write* the program for different architectures back in the bad old days. The face that C was portable by recompiling for different platforms was a big selling point.
