This right here is absolute proof of how appallingly pathetic the average quality of programmers is, and just how firmly up their asses their heads are planted. As much of a need as we have for better languages, I'm convinced that need is completely dwarfed by the need for better programmers. And frankly, I'm not so sure that such clearly incompetent fools should be encouraged in such tenancies. I say, if someone is so bone-headed as to refuse to look at a language for such a stupid reason, they *should* be forced to stick with increasingly subpar languages. They's the only thing that will lead to their demise. We need to save our field from these fucking morons, not encourage them. (And no, I'm not complaining about .NET itself, or .NET languages.)
