Benchmarks don't matter. It's 2020. We use Stock Price Driven Development now.

The main reason to use Swift is Apple created it.

The main reason to use Go is it's the first two letters of Google.

The main reason to use Python is Google hired GvR in the 2000s and created momentum.

The main reason to use Kotlin is Google announced at I/O 2017 its support in Android Studio.

Get with the times gramps.

The only time I've ever heard anyone assert this is in posts like this where you lambast everyone but yourself for being an idiot.

Wow. No.

Engineering school was/is supposed to help us (you) move beyond cynical judgements to thinking.

I could care less if a statement was positive or negative what is important is if the statement has a realistic possibility of being true.

If anything Engineering school should have taught you how to logically observe situations rather than viewing things through an optimistic or cynical lens.
