  oh i never considered that reading of the quote

  i read it as more: complaints about a language, particularly the amount of complaints, don’t mean it is a Bad Language that should be dropped in favor of something else

  in fact the complaints validate that the language is being used by people, and that is imo a decent proxy metric for the usefulness of the language

  so please complain about your languages’ shortcomings! i hate so many things about terraform / sh / python / golang / java and will gladly rant at length, and then go right back to using them

  except groovy

  fuck groovy

  There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.
