Advocacy is noise everywhere.

That doesn't mean that davocates for either side don't have anything
interesting to say. For starters, it's usually dissatisfaction with
certain aspects of some languages that causes the birth of yet another
new language, such as PHP (which is more a different programming
platform than really a different, full blown language) and Ruby.

When designing a new generation of a language, it can be interesting to
look what those alternative language designers have done. They just
might have done some interesting things. No language is an island.
