> In my anecdotal experience, the type of programmers that evangelize and talk shit about programming languages tend to be on the less informed side of the knowledge spectrum.

Or maybe they have just expanded their "knowledge spectrum" and are experiencing an effusive moment?

Talking shit isn't effusive. It's possible to enjoy a programming language without openly denigrating others you regard as inferior.

It's apparent you have dealt with negative situations such as you describe. Here is a haiku which may be helpful:

  Those who can will do,
  Those who cannot will seek to,
  Hide that fact from you.

Both points you make I agree with. I simply was offering a possible explanation for those whom exhibit overly passionate opinions when they become enlightened.

When people take an epiphany to the point of denigrating those around them, then they likely have issues beyond what any programming philosophy could possibly encode.
