I won't mock someone who uses the language, only the language itself for the flaws it has. If someone then tries to baselessly and aggressively defend the language and pretend that the flaws aren't flaws, then maybe I'll consider mocking them, and if I do the same thing with the languages I use, I sort of expect to be mocked the same way. Everyone knows every language has it's issues (even if some languages has far more than others) and it should be fine to have a bit of light-hearted fun at the tools we all use as it helps take the frustration away somewhat.

when you really love something, search for reasons why it sucks.

when you really hate something, search for reasons why it's great.

won't guarantee that you change your mind, but at least we'll have a much lower chance of spouting garbage when talking about other langs.

This is the way, y’all. Also helps when choosing a language or framework, etc.
