One could argue that good programming languages self-select good programmers. And that there are not that many good programmers in the first place.

That's a good point, but this argument's mostly driven by functional programmers and "good languages" usually means Haskell or Lisp, in my experience.

Disclosure: I'm a functional programmer myself so, what do I know.
