Comparisons won't tell us anything. If Python were the only programming language in existence, that doesn't imply that it would be loved. Or, if we could establish that Python is the technically worst programming language to ever be created, that doesn't imply that wouldn't be loved. Look at how many people in the world love other people who are by all reasonable measures bad for them (e.g. abusive). Love isn't rational. It is unlikely that it is possible for us to truly understand.
