I dont know how you can read that quote and come away with anything other than "He thinks the programmers are too stupid"

[klodolph]

I guess you’re saying “not capable of understanding a brilliant language” = “stupid”? This equivalence seems obviously wrong to me.

Even if you believe that anyone not capable of writing Rust or Haskell is stupid, it doesn’t mean that Rob Pike thinks that these people are stupid.
