Well, you might have the Stockholm syndrome. :D But yeah, we all have to deal with some idiosyncrasies with our languages/tools of choice. It’s inevitable.
For the record, I really love Elixir but it’s quite easy to swallow/ignore errors there as well. (To translate one of the Go’s criticisms.)
So I get what you’re saying. But IMO the outsiders’ perspective is valuable because it outlines stuff we have gotten used to, and they might not be willing to do that.
So such criticisms might be minor for you and me but they add much-needed nuance in the long run, I believe.
