I mean, it's kind of the whole point of this article, to explore why they felt it was a good idea to try to create a programming language. Bashing other languages and coming up with reasons why none of the existing ones would do, is kind of the whole point. And they do self-reflect and admit that their reasons were ultimately not good enough from a purely objective point of view.
Honestly, my whining isn’t aimed directly at this piece, but to vent my spleen about yet another “Python is slowwww…” missive that is filling the internet.
Theirs comes across to me as “Every language is not good enough for me” whine. Two whines passing in the night, mine and theirs.
Thanks for taking the time to make a good point and apologies for my hypocritical whine about whining.
