Odd, but as I was reading this I kept thinking of programming language flame wars: > So why is there so much hating? I think what’s going on is that people are coming to these languages from Java or PHP, have their massive epiphany on how totally awesome these languages are, and then assume that only their language can have this level of awesome, so they begin evangelizing. The problem, of course, is that the other guy feels the same way, and is also evangelizing, so the Ruby and the Python guy end up in a locker-room-style temper-tantrum over whose language has the best frameworks or whatnot, instead of how much more awesome their languages are than the competition. > This has to stop. > Python’s enemy is not Ruby.
