You have those who obsess over feature lists for languages and then you have those who obsess over friction, productivity, ease of use and developer ergonomics.

If I were uncharitable I might call the categories "people who are somewhat removed from reality" and "people who inhabit observable reality". Avoid the former, treasure the latter.

Languages evolve for a reason and nobody should give a shit about people who do not understand why.
