I guess it depends on how it's communicated. If someone tells me he doesn't like PHP because of this and that reason, that's fine. Getting wound up about some specific programming language (feature) or any tech still raises a red flag for me. But then I might be terrible as well :)


I can be pretty confident that if a language is not from the ML family I’m not going to like it for all of the reasons it’s not a ML language.


Whatever happened to passionate programmers?


One of the reasons why I love working on PHP jobs is that I get to avoid "passionate" programmers.

It's fine to be excited about programming but those that build their whole identity around it are just super obnoxious and not fun to work with.


Thousands at Railsconf or Clojure Conj would disagree, I'm sure but these languages are kinda special.


I am totally passionate about removing complexity from apps and stacks.
