The comments on the article itself (not here) make me sad. It almost immediately devolves into a language war. Why is it that some people always have to find something to complain about?
I bet a conversation with the author of this article would be very interesting. With the attitude he demonstrated here, he probably has a lot to teach.
People have a need to feel superior to other people. I mean, I get it, you're super smart because you're able to critique programming languages. But at the end of the day, this guy was trying to learn a little about coding and did. And that's pretty cool.
People have lost their sense of wonder, and it's been replaced with cynicism and egomania. C'est la vie.
