You see Ian, while you and the other millions of coding practitioners
have (mal)adapted to a suboptimal coding environment where "hey
there's a language for everyone"  and terms are thrown around,
misused, this is not how it needs or should be.  Instead of the
thriving Open Source culture on the web we could have, the community
stays fractured.   Languages can reach for an optimal design (within a
constant margin of leeway).   Language "expressivity" can be measured.
