Higher level languages are only for those who are too wimpy to even use 
assembly language. Assembly language is for weenies.  Real programming 
is done with patch cords and soldering irons!

fact that sombody's preferences differ from yours means nothing about 
their programming ability.

Your lack of perception means nothing about their utility.
