If you feel activated because someone doesn't like your favorite toy language that is on you to figure out. Don't take it out on other people
Not everyone is going to like everything, you don't need to seek out opinions of people who don't like the same things you do in order to yell at them about how their choices are bad and yours are good
You really, really don't
My identity is not tied to the language I use for hobbies or work and, even if it were, there's no need to seek out disagreement
@jenniferplusplus Nothing new. Combination of reflecting on said same defender and also finding myself digging into threads while trying to find an answer about something and seeing some… special responses.
I like Erlang and Prolog. I'm indifferent toward Java but I know it well enough—warts and all—and it has enough support and enough latent knowledge out there that most of my Serious Projects™ get done in it.
I don't like C++ despite having spent a lot of time using it. I don't like JavaScript. I don't like Go.
I'll talk about these preferences on my timeline, but what I don't do is go try to corner random people who aren't otherwise talking to me and demand that they convince me or fold.
