I like how this could be taken as an endorsement or criticism of the article, depending on the hubris of the reader

I find that these sorts of polarizing statements which either side can take to mean a one-up on the other side tend to get lots of upvotes on applicable forums.

Or the hubris of the language designer.

I would only take it as hubris or condescension if the language designer chose to write their compiler in a language other than the one they were designing. Otherwise, I'd interpret the presence of strong guard rails as humility, an acknowledge of how fallible our puny human minds are and how much help we need from machines to minimize the cost of our inevitable mistakes.
