This is why people got upset about the original post from Zed. One dude whining in a blog does not equal mass dissent in the community. The choice is inconsequential for 99% of programmers and hardly a difficult decision - flip a damn coin if you cannot decide. I make 100x more decisions when it comes to front-end development than I ever have with python 2 vs 3.

That's exactly why I decided to choose anything BUT Python. If it really was inconsequential, the community wouldn't be split. I'm also not going to select my programming language with a coin flip. That's ridiculous.

There are so many alternatives these days that it's simply not worth dealing with this type of bullshit.
