Yep, that's about the size of it. Want some examples of what costs no clarity to reimplement in another language? Check out the Python standard library. Some of that is implemented in C (in CPython) and some in Python, and you can't tell and needn't care which. Code clarity isn't hurt, because those functions would be named functions even without.
