Apart from the juvenility of social memia, there is the fact that programming languages are themselves buggy, opinionated expressions of how to solve a problem. Given enough followers, some languages become very like a temple that sees no ill within its own walls.

A programmer must be able to reason clearly about the code, or something (or some opinion) has become dogma.

There are many good programming languages. Leaving tribe and tribalism brings maturity.
