The issue with your comment is the dismissive and reductionist point of view, this place isn't childish, it's exactly the opposite: people here don't tolerate so much statements of absoluteness or broken analogies.



This isn't dismissive nor reductionist. This is a simple fact of life. Perhaps experience is needed to grasp this, though, and to understand the analogy.

Childish, because I feel that some commenters see posting as a pissing contest.

I'm genuinely surprised by the reactions.


Comparing a programming language to a paint brush is reductive. And arguing "this is a simple fact of life", and that those who disagree with you lack experience, is dismissive.
