The remaining quotes:

C++: "So you like long compile times and incomprehensible error messages? That's cool, we do too"

Java: "So you're a believer in AbstractMethodFactoryBeans? That's cool, we all have our vices"

Python: "So you enjoy the paradigm of backtrace-driven development? That's cool, everyone gets a bit tired of static typing once in a while"

C: "So you think OOP is for hipsters? That's cool, we all get nostalgic sometimes"

Javascript: "So you're a dynamic individual who thinks that, underneath, everything is an object? That's cool, we like to dream as well"

For Rust, it just sends you directly to it's site.

The author of the site works on Rust ;)
It all makes sense now
While this is obviously intended to be humorous, I don't really care for the way it attacks the users of the language in such a mocking, patronising manner.

Criticizing languages/paradigms is fine (the resulting flame-wars add a great deal of humour and interest to the world of programming) - but to caricaturize users of different languages as people suffering from certain negative traits is just ugly and leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth reading this.

I for one would not want anything further to do with this author or site.

I was kind of annoyed when I got the first remark after selecting C, but once I found out they made fun of everything, I actually started to like its criticizing.
only the famous get mocked.
