"Gee - let's see if we can get folks arguing about which is the stupidest programming language by posting to several language groups..." If not, I'd suggest the question should be rephrased to be less inciteful. (Something more along the lines of "What are the advantages to learning language X if my goal is Y..." might be less apt to start a language war.) Otherwise, we're better off ignoring it.
