The thing is that I fucking empathize with people who believe in a language and are frustrated with the pace of its uptake. Obviously. But I don't use that discomfort and frustration as an excuse to attack anyone who criticizes my language. It's pretty hard not to, given how personal those attacks tend to be, but ultimately I respect people as engineers making the right decisions for themselves and if that means my work isn't applicable to their needs then so be it.
