> Is there a reason that it matters what the reference implementation of Libra is written in?

If a language implementation is new, then it is (in the pragmatic sense) more susceptible to security issues.

Two counters:

1. You entirely ignored the thesis of the comment you responded to. Which is that other nodes can be implemented in more "mature" languages.

2. I don't buy for a second that new languages are more susceptible. You can attach pragmatic all you want to the sentiment but it's not an argument.
