This fallacy gets repeated over and over again and it doesn't make it any less false.

Languages are tools and some tools are actually better-built than others. If we can claim that a language like Brainfuck makes writing clear code extremely difficult, and Python or Rust make writing clear code easier, we've already established that there's a spectrum for language in expressiveness and clarity.

Eliminating entire classes of bugs makes for better understanding.
