Who is cultivating a "favorite language"? I missed that part. Agreed that this should not be an emotional issue, that is unprofessional.
Problem with any popular language is an outsider sees one or two statistically-likely codebases that are total turds, and then gets one-shot by the Goomba fallacy.

I don’t know, but deflecting legitimate criticism of a language by calling it “language purism” seems pretty emotional to me.
