This is absolute garbage. How can you state that users of a language are unsophisticated? You can make the argument that certain languages ALLOW you to be an unsophisticated developer, have lower barriers to entry, or give you enough rope to hang yourself, etc. But your logic here just does not make any sense. How can you call someone unsophisticated for KNOWING something?

I would bet that most developers know more than one language. So what if you develop with Python, C++, and Node? Does the singular fact that you develop with Node make you a shitty programmer?
