It's a welcome surprise to see an unreasonable and inflammatory post end with such a good piece of advice.

Needless to say the notion that python and ruby programmers are greybeards who need to "die off" to make way for the future of software development is not a rational assessment of the state of the industry.

Of course, it's not. But as a developer who doesn't use those two languages my only point of contact with them is via those greybears who tarnish the image of the entire lot ;)
