You see articles like by both left and right commentstors. The other side is always shown as ridiculous and ridiculed.
I'd say the purpose of this article isn't to point out the idiocy, but to encourage a polemic political world view, engage people's tribal instincts, and attribute specific beliefs to each. That's how the propaganda works, in my opinion - it's divide and conquer. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/a60eba2479acc5ec
Funny how much of this kind of elitism touches. Rob Pike on Go:
"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, theyβre not researchers. Theyβre typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. Theyβre not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."
