"I haven't noticed that much negativity in the Ruby community either"
Well I interpreted "douchewienery" to be more (ignorance + snobbishness) than being harshly negative. Both Ruby and Clojure have plenty of practitioners who have no deep understanding of other languages (or knowledge of programming language theory or language design skills) combined with a certainty that their language is "the one". Witness all the "Ruby is better than Python" rants.
Interestingly, the founders of both languages are the opposite - competent and down to earth. One would think they would be emulated more.

Though I wish Guido would have more love for tail call optimization. (At least he knows how to write a parser. (I am looking at you, PHP.))
