I like how after all these paragraphs you've managed to avoid having to offer up your own personal example of a "good" and "outstanding" language. But have no problem labeling other languages as NOT being such, with very poor examples :P
You should get an achievement of some sort. Hackernews needs achievements.
Why were the examples poor? Also, if he'd have "Python is mediocre, and X is fantastic", the discussion would've moved to X. He was right in not doing that.
