This could be said for any language.

Yes. People really hate C that much. C++ brought some sanity to the language, but I continue to be firmly in the camp of continuing to hate and despise its existence.

It's a bit different. For system level programming you have a choice to get around C/C++.

For browser programming, or full stack in a single language, you have less choice, and none if you reject transpiling.

Right, with JS there's almost no choice. C/C++ I actually really like, but I fear the great harm that I can inflict upon myself and others with them.

Anyway, the nouns are important.
