If code is craft and minimalism is hip then why ruby, and python, and go and... when it's electrical state in machines?

That's the minimalism that's been lost.

That's why I find the group 2 arguments disingenuous. Emotional appeal to conservatism, which conveniently also props up their career.

Why all those parsers and package systems when what's really needed is dials min-max geometric functions from grand theft auto geometry to tax returns?

Optimization can be (and will be) engineered into the machine through power regulation.

There's way too many appeals to nostalgia emanating from the high tech crowd. Laundering economic anxiety through appeals to conservatism.

Give me an etch a sketch to shape the geometry of. Not another syntax art parser.
