I cannot place the source of this quote, but to paraphrase: Judge a language not by what it makes hard, but what it makes easy.

- joe_the_user 17y agoUh, if a language makes some common, reasonable things hard, it's hard not to judge is harshly.
- mquander 17y agoIt depends on how dispensable those common and reasonable things are. There are a lot of ways to skin a cat, and one strong quality of a language is how well it gives you one overarching, consistent cat-skinning paradigm that is sufficient to skin cats. If it does, then it can be excused to some degree for not supporting other methods of skinning.
