> This leaves us with the final problem: why can't people acknowledge that different people have different goals, and that those people's goals are just as legitimate as their own? Why are other people's goals threatening? Because swaths of code written in a language where it's easier to make mistakes affects all parties and entrenches said language. Imagine a book on programming an unreadable language like Befunge was given out to low income schools across the world, those people ended up organizing, and by sheer number and force cranked out software the industry depended upon. Is it unethical to see the downside, point it out, but appreciate what was accomplished? I think about the dilemma of socioeconomics preventing language choice from being a consideration and language mattering for writing better software a lot though.
