Ok, I write every day in Rust and JavaScript (and not just jumping monkey in JS, but a lot of code). They are almost orthogonal languages. Will it fit your theory? :)

Are they both your favorite languages? Also there will always be exceptions.
Sorry for long reply. No, I prefer Rust, but right now it's impossible to use Rust on frontend. I also know there are people who love Python, Scala, Nim, D, Ocaml and I don't think they are wrong - it's just languages with different flavours and there are people with other preferences, so it's awesome to have alternatives. They are not better or worse than me if they use other languages, I'm more than sure about it. But when we talk about PHP, Go, Perl - yes, I think people could make better choice.
