I don't see why anyone should be a $LANG dev. All programming languages suck (there is this theoretical language that doesn't suck, but it isn't invented yet). Surely $LANG devs recognize that their language sucks, right?
And that's why we switch languages constantly. For some problems, some languages suck a little less.
I agree with your sentiment for the inverse reason.
Most programming languages are pretty neat. Learning is a joy. That's why language hops are fun and common.
But yes, few things make me cringe more than someone selling themselves short by introducing themselves as a $LANG dev

I only have one life and I prefer not to suffer too much; switching languages is not helping me at all in preventing that suffering.
Gooby doesn't suck though. (I'm not joking.)
