I see Cedric Beust has responded to Steve Yegge's post on languages - and you can tell he's basically lost for points, because he starts this way:

I sent him a reaction email shortly after he posted his article, and he encouraged me to make it public in an attempt to document our two opposing viewpoint publicly.

I'm happy to be the Luke Skywalker to his Darth Vader. Evil shall not prevail.

Yeah Cedric, that moves the conversation forward. When you graduate from the 5th grade, just let the rest of know, ok? And while you're at it, learn something about refactoring tools in dynamic languages....
