  3. kind of seems excessive to want one guy write in a hand full of languages, are programmers just too costly so they want to get the best bang for buck humanly possible?
  4. isnt that unreasonably causing them to have a lot less suitable candidates
I do not believe these questions are related to interview, you are supposed to understand how programming works, especially C as fundament of programming. When they ask you with an user-story, "I want to save list videos of porn that I will watch these videos later and I don't want to be registered" then this idea you're supposed to write this in any language and anywhere so no limits, preferably on browser.
