Ok, so let me be a bit more concrete: I do _not_ want to work with or have to maintain or use the software of people who claim of themself to be "good programmers" who are "able to handle manual memory management" (and similar) any more. Yes, of course there are exceptions and I'm not saying that John Blow isn't one of them and I also don't know if the formulation is his or of somebody else (as I don't know anything about him or his games). But the problem is that now people are drawn to the language to "proof" that they are "good programmers". > Pretending it's only valid to acknowledge these differences in others but not in oneself is irrational. I do hope that we can agree that people are way better at assessing others than themselves - in both ways, under- and overestimation of their own capabilities.
