This is a toxic attitude as this can be said about pretty much any language / thing, "lol Ruby developers discovering what LISP developers have been doing since the 80s", "lol LISP developers discovering lambda calculus", etc.

A better attitude would be to appreciate that these solid practices are being rediscovered everywhere, and focus on the good rather than the "us versus them". It's not productive.

You could say the same thing about JavaScript, Python and PHP discovering typing.

The best languages borrow from each other.
