I agree with the content, but I think the title vastly overstates things. A better title would be "Debating the Superiority of Languages Don't Matter". There are many cases were language does matter. To take the article's analogy to its limits, a stone carver probably shouldn't try to make his living casting chess pieces from metal. Although he may well become a better carver by casting some pieces for fun. Likewise, the new piece-maker that was just hired at the metal foundry probably shouldn't make wooden chess pieces, even though she took wood shop in high school and it was really fun. Language does matter (a lot) when you are a professional trying to make a living. For fun and when fighting over imaginary internet points, not so much.
