Do you really not see the difference between
a) code already written and tested by others
b) code written by yourself

The regexp library is case 1. A program using that library is case 2.  
Case 1 can be written in C because the original author prefers C.  
Case 2 can be written in Pascal because you prefer Pascal. "Language  
superiority" does not enter the picture.
