Sorry, but I have the same reaction to any "programming language" argument, no matter how eloquent: so what?

90% of your code should either be generated or copied from standard templates. I've put over 2500 new programs into the library in the past couple of years, yet I don't remember the last time I wrote a program from scratch.

I, too, am a stickler for details, but I let the compiler (or interpreter) do its job. Why worry about nanoseconds when I have users running the asylum?
