You really ought to disclose that you also hired the language's BDFL when you make comments like these.

With that said, I sort of agree with the sibling comment here. Most other people involved with a language that I've seen are still able to make objective criticisms about it.

We hired him after seeing a huge hiring boost, so it's not like he could have caused it. :)
