Unenlightened: This programming language is better than these languages. Those don't have X, Y, and Z features...
Enlightened: All of them are toys compared to Lisp. With Common Lisp, I can implement all of your features and features you haven't even dreamt of because you are imprisoned by a language designer's decisions.
My operating system is better than yours! Haha, idiot!
What OS you use is unimportant. Operating systems are merely bootloaders for Emacs.
GC is shit! My program runs slow because of all these memory allocations and pauses!
Bottlenecks in real-world software are a result of poor high level algorithms, which can only be obviated with an intuitive programming model. Abstractions over the machine model such as GC allow programmers an intuitive approach that leads to beautiful and useful software.
Strong typing is important.
Types are a needless, self-imposed hindrance on programming productivity.
