Some things are way easier to write in pike than in C, and not exactly time-critical. Typical examples includes argument parsing and the resolver, and everything else that resides in the master, such as error handling.
Moving that over to C would be rather pointless.

Reminds me of java. I think "more and more in pike" can be dangerous - C is faster. Doing too much in Pike code will have negative impacts. Not that I see Pike having any issues with this.
