I've always though that, other than objective measurements of binary code performance, whether or not you think a programming language is good is almost entirely determined by its syntax and feature set. I feel no need to go around the internet all day proclaiming my programming language of choice to be the best and/or others to be inferior.
This reminds me of that link I saw on here a while ago titled "Why Go? Use Racket!". Personally, my answer would be: because I find 9000 brackets in a simple program to be poorly readable. However, I respect anyone who disagrees and thinks the opposite. If it allows them to make great software and have fun doing it: by all means go for it!
You apparently thought the write-up was somehow overly condescending to C++ programmers (I assume), while I personally thought it was the complete opposite.
