> <my favorite language> is used to solve REAL problems That is really not the point being made. The point is rather "the language helps me keep focused on what I do, because many subtleties in other languages don't exist, and those have me overthinking things".

It does lack browser API features, but I don't believe that's what the author enjoys.
