It's a bit ironic to pick someone's up on "taking things personally upon criticism", then proceeding to display a deep, manichean, unfounded hatered for a language that, despite its numerous flaws, remains a popular and useful tool.

Hanging people upon dawn was popular as well; people even got their kids for the event and it was happening regularly. Popularity says nothing about quality or even viability.

Use Python if it's useful for you, obviously. To me though the writing is on the wall -- it's on its loooong and painful (due to people being in denial) way out.

EDIT: I don't "hate"; it was a figure of speech. Our work has no place for such emotions. I simply get "sick of" (read: become weary of) something being preached as good when it clearly is not, at least in purely technical terms. And the "hate" is not at all unfounded. Choosing to ignore what doesn't conform to your view is not an argument.
