This is what I want more people participating in "language wars" to understand. There is not much sense to compare projects that pursue completely different goals.
And having a background in programming language design surely makes understanding of solutions and compromises a lot easier.
- steveklabnik 2y agoI have said this recently a few times: I have found that most of the time, various people involved in working on languages themselves have far kinder attitudes towards other languages than their respective communities tend to. I've always chalked it up to some sort of collegial professionalism, but maybe understanding the tradeoffs more deeply is an aspect of it too.
