There is such a variation between js, perl, python, rust, C#, lisp, bash, haskell, erlang and sql that the blind spot is huge.
It's like eating hot dogs all your life and debating food merits with people that tasted japanese, indian and french food.
It's a bit off-topic but if you liked Elixir it's kind of like Elixir but fast, and like OCaml but widely usable in production. It could also be familiar after Python due to mostly indentation-based scoping and not having to define signatures (except you go from something terrible and untyped to Hindley-Milner).
Spend several years with LISP, Elixir, Haskell, OCaml, then you'd be in a better position to say you keep loving JS.
You are sticking to the same type of languages. This warps your point of view.
What I said still applies, the guy seems to have a familiarity bias and said nothing to show otherwise.
As for being condescending, your reply seems like a textbook example.
Lost on your way to Reddit, I see.
You are free to interpret it any flame-bait ways. I ain't biting though.
Peace.
and of course even more pertinent - which languages did he even criticize other than to point out things that are not possible in Scala/Rust (certainly not a critique, each language has its pros/cons...)
