I don't really think it's a good answer. To me that comment is the difference between Quora, which aims to be an opinion-based Q&A, and StackOverflow/StackExchange which aim for facts. I know his question was opinion based, but is there a need for that comment. He could very well be a happy and healthy family man who learns new languages as a hobby. And, anyway, who cares? Just answer the question with your thoughts if you have them.
