If we agree more with our friends about politics than about physics or programming languages, then our political ideas are probably either simplistic or indoctrination.

There are similarities. Often, when people argue about programming languages it's because they don't want to learn new ones.

There are two kinds of programming languages: those that everybody complains about and those that nobody uses. But it is often hard to figure out which approach and tool to prefer when. Even for something so simple as programming.

Some languages are only still alive because the two people who know how to speak are stubbornly refusing to interact and are willing to let the language fade with them.

This is most surprising to me. I would have thought that languages fade because people using them stop interacting?

Ah! I misread. In that case, isn't it fine to let the language die?

I would find a way to preserve at least the distilled essence of it somehow, but to each their own.

I share your sentiment, but I am aware that it may be sentimental.

Conduct every important personal relationship as if you're the last two people who speak a language that will fade unless you memorialize it in some way, if for no other reason than because you can, and want to.

What happens if you stop valuing existence?

You try to find a way to express the feeling that while the universe might be vast and indifferent, and our agonies personal and private, we are here only for a short time during which we are loved by others who value our existence.
