oh i never considered that reading of the quote
i read it as more: complaints about a language, particularly the amount of complaints, donโt 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 thatโthe number of people actually using the language to Do Thingsโis imo a decent proxy metric for the usefulness of the language
so please complain about your languagesโ 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
