Those users (and devs) claiming the devs must use their favorite
language (because, e.g. it's more popular than others, and "millions of
flies cannot be wrong", sorry for the blunt expression, couldn't

been done.

I prefer evolution to revolution. Hey, guys, let's evolve our programs
without our community splitting. We've already lost so many talents.

Cheers,
