Seriously one of the worst posts I've seen on top page in a long while.

Disclaimer: from here on I'll also be a bit opinionated, hardly can be worse than the post. And yes he did write the disclaimer, and no, still doesn't help at all.

Just LOL.

What's the difference between Python and Ruby and the conclusion?

Scala doesn't get him excited? Well, can be if he's "not clever enough to program in Haskell". (Not a bad thought-terminating cliché btw)

The best: "limited compile-time safety (you can lint and unit test)" of node? And is offset by "not creating a large codebase!" ?!

Half the languages he mentioned are less verbose than JS.

Oh, and he didn't mention the coolest feature of JS: weak typing, which works perfectly for long-term projects.

On the other hand Lisp? Ah, I'll stop here.

He could have just written "here are the languages I'm currently interested in" and be done with that.

To me he did. I saw this as a casual listing of what languages he wanted explore next by ruling out the ones he didn't want to learn because of one or two things in each that he didn't want to contend with.
