Let me set the record straight. I was merely writing my evaluation of languages that I have tried before, and I never intended to attack anyone personally. If I did, then I apologize. Criticizing a language does not equal attacking the people associated with it. But avoiding personal attacks does not exclude criticizing a language for what I perceive as its flaws.
