I don't see any claim in that article about everything being subjective, it's very specifically about programming languages.

I would argue that programming languages are subjective. There are many different equally viable ways to model the world and programmers should pick the one that aligns with how their brain works.

I'm not convinced it's possible to objectively rank programming languages from best to worse. They are not fundamental properties of the universe simply mental models devised by humans for humans.

We can objectively talk about whether a language is suited to the use it is being put to.

Can we? Expectations around what a language can do are dymanic.

I saw something really cool on the weekend. PHP on the client side as a compiled wasm. This allows someone to go severless and run a cms in the client.

That's a new use for an existing language.. is it suitable for everything? Not until it is.
