Group bonding by identify an "out group" (1) and vilifying "them" is common and very human. Terrible and toxic in the modern world, but so human.
As is "the vanity of small differences". Viewed from a distance, "people who write software" are all of much the same group.
I try not to do it. I prefer Scott Hanselmans's take (2)
"Learn any programming language. ... pick a programming language, learn it, see if it feeds your spirit. If you don't like it, pick a different one. Ignore people who say that "this language sucks or that language sucks" "
