As far as opinions go, this one should have been kept in the mind that
spawned it. I wonder if the author of the above is merely a mental light
weight imitating the likes of Dijkstra. In any case to denigrate a
person's good efforts based purely upon their field of endeavor (in this
case the language they have ported) is tantamount to racism and indica-
tive of a pitifully small mind.
