Speak for yourself. I love looking at PHP code... Ruby? Well when I look at Ruby code, I think of all the condescending assholes in the Ruby world who think they're language is somehow superior because it LOOKS pretty... Then I base all my opinions on another language SOLELY on how it's syntax looks and nothing more. Because my endusers and customers only care how the syntax of the language I built their site in looks.

Well when I look at Ruby code, I think of all the condescending assholes in the Ruby world who think they're language is somehow superior because it LOOKS pretty This illustrates my point perfectly: Feelings about programming languages are rarely rooted objective analysis. They're rooted in emotional hot points. For some people, those hot points are the aesthetics of syntax. For others, like yourself, they are about social politics.
