This is just vapid snark. Of course some abstraction is helpful, but there's also a point at which abstraction impedes understanding. Ergo, we're debating where the "sweet spot" is. Note also that we can say "Go is the sweet spot for most applications" while also acknowledging that it makes certain kinds of programming difficult (e.g., writing a compiler). It's okay to recognize tradeoffs; there's no need to oversimplify or otherwise engage dogmatically.
