If it's C or C++, it's crap!

We don't live in the 1980s anymore. If you want to get things done, forget about languages like C and C++. C is too basic to get anything done quickly, and C++ is too complex to remember.

Python, Perl, Lisp, Haskell, Prolog, et al, are superior. Leave C and C++ to the vidya gaem programmers. They don't know shit anyway.

Don't be ridiculous, you can invert that statement and it will mean the same because they are all Turing complete. It's about what can you express succinctly, and the answer would likely be that you can get better performance with less effort on C or C++ than with Lisp or Haskell FIOC on the other hand will forcibly run slow and serially unless calling C functions.
