My point wasn't to devalue his arguments - in fact, I find them valid arguments. My point was he's using inexperience and/or familiarity with C/C++ as a reason to "hate" it.

He complains about Python developers grep'ing directories when he admits to looking through just as arbitrary of a directory. His complaints about random code execution during import is valid but also seen as a feature _allowing_ metaprogramming. It's just as bad as C/C++ allowing clobbering over memory.

These are features that come with trade-offs. The author is focusing _only_ on the trade-offs and how they don't exist in his favored language as a reason to hate the language. That's certainly fine for his subjective opinion but not as appropriate in a blog post where he is clearly trying to persuade others.
