If you feel this article is smug and condescending, don't start watching the language designer's stream too soon.

The least you can say is that he is _opinionated_. Even his friend Casey Muratori is "friendly" in comparison, at least trying to publish courses to elevate us masses of unworthy typescript coders to the higher planes of programming.

Jblow just want you to feel dumb for not programming right. He's unforgiving, Socrate's style.

The worst thing is : he might be right, most of the time.

We would not know, cause we find him infuriating, and, to be honest, we're just too dumb.

In my experience programming is more about formalising the domain of the problem than it is about shuffling bits around. Take a minute more than need and you'll lose hundreds. Get the answer wrong? Lose millions. Domains where you deprioritise correctness for speed just... don't seem that interesting too me. No need to look down on memory managed languages. Personally, Haskell and APL impressive me more, but I don't have shit on the author for being stuck in an imperative paradigm.
