Is this ad hominem necessary?  The two languages should be judged, at 
least qualitatively, on their technical merits.

What kinds of software problems are we typically trying to solve?  What 
innovations, features and defects of each language can allow us to solve 
these problems quicker, more efficiently, and over a longer life-span?  
Can such a list of features and defects be ranked, one language against 
another?
