Amusing that Scala and Haskell are on both the loved and hated lists.

Python and Javascript running counter to the author's premiss is not that odd to me. Both of these language do a good job of adapting to new approaches and technology. I am not a fan of untyped Python and Javascript, but Python with type linting and Typescript are great. Maintaining code without these features is a pain, while the newer code in the same project with these features is more interesting.
