Nowhere seen that statement. Must be some marketing guy saying a thing he has no
clue from. The *interface* is probably written in C.

I remember Johan de Koning also saying his program is in C, yet he uses at
tournaments an outdated watcom compiler: "because i know in which register it
puts things".

Hahaha.

Those guys just claim whatever commercially suits them.

But it's assembly.
