AMEN. You can write terrible code in any programming language. I know because I’ve done it. You can write kickass code in any* programming language. I know because I’ve done it. Language elitism is a useful metric in that it can serve to indicate an inexperienced and/or arrogant developer. I used to do this when I was younger and less experienced, but when you really start seeing the larger world and all the stuff out there, good and bad, you start to realize the language is almost never the problem. It’s nearly always your own ignorance. And that should humble you enough to realize that doing things in a different way than your preference isn’t necessarily bad or wrong, and there’s almost always context behind bad code you’re unaware of (usually business/political pressures). Under the same circumstances, you’d probably make similar mistakes and trade offs - maybe even worse. Humility is the gateway to knowledge. * Except brainfuck. The name tells you all you need to know.
