A good programmer doesn't really care about the langage itself, but rather whether the language is the right tool for the job.
For example, Erlang is painful to adapt to, but in some cases (example: if you build a Messenger app) it will be the best.
It doesn't mean that Erlang is a bad language at all, it is designed for a main purpose in mind.
It's normal to see junior developers and low-quality packages in PHP, JavaScript, Java or Python, it's because these languages are well-documented and rather accessible.
There is no point in making a language needlessly complex.
