The original post wasn't just a general statement, it was inflammatory and accusatory. The poster stated that Elixir not only teaches programmers the wrong things, but that it leaves them damaged. Did not give a single example or explanation for their rationale.

None of that matters when determining whether or not they need to give specifics about something that is obviously true.

It was far from a universally agreed upon statement like "no programming languages is perfect".

It had criticisms without any explanations.

If someone makes a statement I'm skeptical of, I want to push for examples.
