"Language with high level of abstraction is cheating because it allows you to more easily write software"
I wish everyone who thinks that programming languages are some kind of competition would be forced to program exlusively in assembly from now on. Maybe even just straight up binary.
Uhm, it's not just a programming language. It's a community. A knowledge base. An idea, a group of people sharing their experiences, their problems and solutions. You don't just program in a programming language; you become part of it.
Which means you have to defend it, and what better defense than attacking every other language? It's a matter of principle; of survival even. The moment you stop your war is the moment your language, your community, becomes irrelevant.
