If those people were really professional, they'd have pointed out how a thread like that is worthless, of no value to anyone, and had it shut down and moved on with your lives (like I did). It's starting to look like a nerd chest thumping exercise. "LULZ! LUUKZ HOW SMARTZ I IZ!!! I KAN K0DE C+_ BETTAR THEN CSHURP!" Get over yourselves. Someone doesn't like playing with the same toys as you, it's hardly the end of the world.
We all have opinions. But this is just taking opinion to the land of the absurdly stupid. Some people have taken a conflict of opinion and turned into some sort of holy war. I don't get how people that smart (Antheus, I'm looking at you and your silly rant "SHOW ME TEH CODEZ!!!") can be so fucking stupid. Why do you care? Are you worried that this moron who started this thread will actually begin the downfall of your precious language of choice? If you're worried about a spread of misinformation, I'm afraid you have A LOT of work ahead of you. You'll probably need to go to slashdot first, they have quite a backlog of wildly inaccurate information on a great many subjects.
The worst part is that this isn't even in the lounge (which, I hardly go into anymore thankfully). This has no place in the game programming forum in my opinion.
I need that stab in the face button yesterday.
