I think you get that with any language. People are very attached to how they’ve learned to solve problems and the set of tradeoffs they tend to value. I like Go and I can’t tell you how often I see even outlandish criticism (for a long time on r/programming, commenting “it is impossible to build a software product in Go because the type system is too weak” was a great way to get upvotes, especially if you followed it with “but I really like <fully dynamic language>”). You just have to try to understand which parts of the criticism are valid and improve your own understanding.
