Lots of topics to chat about ;-)
Sorry to say, I don't admire your idealized child - but these things are
indeed personal.
In general, choice of language is intensely personal -- e.g. in this
story about a fellow "suing himself" over language license issues...

I don't know how that ended - but I thought that it was interesting view
of passion for a language.

Definitely. Thanks. I felt a little sad for the author's distaste for
static typing. As a Haskeller I actually see static typing as tool to lean
into when things get tough, instead of a thing you have to work against. To
me programs are just data and mappings of that data from input to output. I
may just be one of those weirdos, but for me (at least right now) the
perfect language for me would be if J and Idris/Agda had a baby and made a
dependently typed array language. ...and regained back APL's symbolic
syntax and left ASCII in the dust.
