There's no need to demoralize people using something to talk about disadvantages. And there's rarely a popular technology so bad that discouraging is worth imposing psychic costs on a whole population. Besides, it doesn't even work.

And people usually know already when they are on unpopular stuff. Maybe no need to rub it in their faces all the time, dunno

calling a technology "shitty", or whatever, just because it's popular, doesn't make that okay. C++ and Go developers are people too >.<

Punching up to C++ is okay (because they know they are better than all of us ;). Go is on gray territory (they are in lol no generics area, but have job offers thrown in their face all the time based on what I've been seeing)

No, it is not. I am a C++ programmer, and it hurt when people in the rust irc made fun of it (especially since I usually knew them well, and because they were using very, very outdated knowledge). There are people on the other side of the computer screen.

you can have useful and specific criticism without insulting people who like the language.

Yeah this was mostly my point. Also, repeating the same (not exactly accurate) jingoist criticism over and over can feel insulting especially if it comes from a bunch of people at once (like your IRC example).

As an example "I have no idea how anyone could possibly get anything done in Go without generics" isn't really a technical criticism since empirically people do get things done. A better question is "why does it turn out go devs can get by without generics?"

You can ask this question without the answer being "it turns out generics don't matter and the lesson to learn is we should remove them" But if you ask the learning form of the question to a go dev they'll talk your ear off", use the insulting one and they'll shut down.

Go kneejerk response is the same as with PHP: "all the jobs available will force us to use crap technology if we let it survive". Overreaction again (job market is not exactly scarce these days)
