Just stop. Programming languages aren’t like carpentry tools at all.
For a programming language to survive you need a critical amount of users so that they can support each other by teaching each other, writing libraries, and influencing management in private and public industries to adopt the languages that are wanted. That naturally leads to at least some competetition for mindshare among developers, even (especially?) among the grassroots.
Just let this lame analogy die already.
