Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar on this topic. It's extremely tedious, it's happened dozens of times already, and we don't need any more of this.

I'm sure your programming language is just fine. What's far from fine are these flamewars. Everybody, on all sides of this, needs to stop doing it on HN. Other forums are fine with flamewars; please conduct them there instead. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
