This was an interesting read and very educational in my case, but each time I read an article criticizing a programming language it's written by someone who hasn't done anything better.

It's a shame because it is just as effective as pissing in the wind.

If you're saying someone can't credibly criticize a language without having designed a language themselves, I'll ask that you present your body of work of programming language criticisms so I know if you have "produced something better" in the programming language criticism space.

Of course, by your reasoning this also means you yourself have designed a language.

I'll leave out repeating your colorful language if you haven't done any of these things.

Actually I think that's a reasonable argument. I've not designed a language myself (other than toy experiments) so I'm hesitant to denigrate other people's design choices because even with my limited experience I'm aware that there are always compromises.

Similarly, I'm not impressed by literary critics whose own writing is unimpressive.
