When I am amused at the anger people have about their idealized mental model of what should matter
not being what actual does matter most to practical utility, I’m not speaking from ignorance of the different features of programming languages and the theoretical and practical benefits they bring. I am speaking from four decades of programming and understanding all that, as well as the human and social side of the activity.
