Looking at your profile saying you're a "fifteen-year-old homeschooler", this seems similar to a school project. Can you provide more context behind the motivation and process for the project? Technologies used? How you learned them? What difficulties you faced?

Each programming language is suitable for solving certain type of problems. So when I see a catch-all statement like "All Programming Languages are Wrong", it seems to me the author is implying that "None of the programming languages solve my (or this specific type of) problem."

Well, no, this certainly doesn't apply to all problems!

Again, there are many different paradigms of programming, OOP being one of them with its own pros and cons.

I have never really felt the need of antivirus plugins. Firefox's built in features (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-phishing-and-m...) has always been good enough in my experience.

Why does one have to kill people from one side or the other?
The strike was done on the terrorists which in this case happen to be on Pakistan side.
Terrorism isn't going away itself. One or both the nations need to take action on them.
