Kids these days want to build games and discord bots. They don’t want to build little text-based adventure games. And if you want to do those things you’re going to use a language that’s mature and has libraries built for that purpose.
I do like the breakdown the author gave. But the “atmosphere” component should not be underestimated: I haven’t given up on any languages but I’ve given up on dependencies because I’ve run into errors that I couldn’t find a solution to online.
