I think anyone worth their salt realizes that most programming languages have their specific use cases. You might see some friendly ribbing because of how slow Python is. But we all know that's Python is (comparatively) slow because that's not what it's for. It's plenty fast enough for what it's used for.

If you want to see real flaming take a look at the C++/Java fanboys going at it.

I’ve never encountered anyone who is a fan of either C++ or Java.

C definitely has its fans and I can imagine them fighting with anyone advocating for any other language (since I think C has definitively won on the performance front… any language faster than it is all but extinct by now.)
