I think also that people tend to love the language they used seriously first.
Yeah. Maybe it was my good fortune to learn on languages so flakey that no one could love them - first program in raw machine code (not even an assembler on that machine, just punch cards for object code) and then APL, the world's strangest language except maybe pure lisp. I knew there had to be better ways! Or maybe it's my bad luck I've never had any reason to use C. Every language has a learning curve, it's hard to know what a master can do when you're just a beginner.
