oh my... don't you guys get tired of this kind of language wars? Smile
This is a very known pattern:

Assembly guys bashing C language -->
C guys bashing C++ (vide Linus Torvalds vs some random c++ dude famous thread in the internet) -->
C++ guys bashing Java -->
Java guys bashing Scala, Python, Erlang, ....

You know that a specific discussion is turning towards a religious war rather than genuine technical debate when you learn more about the mindset of the developer doing the debating than you learn about the languages under debate. People start to confuse the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument, and pass off personal value choices and cultural attachments as objective technical evaluations.

In my opinion:
    Realise that although you're probably fairly intelligent given this esoteric field, you aren't as intelligent as you think you are. Shocked
    Try to have an open mind about new languages - but not so open that your brain falls out. Laughing
    Every language will teach you new stuff about software development. That stuff may not, however, be immediately useful.
    Do find out what you can learn from other software development cultures. For example, developers of chess engines and trading systems can learn a lot from each other.
