Alas, to his defense, it's slightly unnerving to read malinformed, biased critics all-thread long.

I would really advise him to try and ignore most of them if he wants to keep his sanity though. (serious, been there, done that.) Especially since I think that the language looks quite promising.

Sometimes, it's ok to correct things even if a little harshly though. People will always find a dumb argument anyway.
