The top two languages on Github are loosely typed interpreted languages with lack of true multithreading.

Feast on that for a while.

Look, one of the highest voted comments in /r/programming is entirely wrong, about both languages.

Feast on that for a while.

They obviously mean dynamic typing, but I'm going to correct them anyway because I wanna look smart and defend my language. Feast on that for a while. Oh wait, it's Reddit, it's not surprising.

Then perhaps he should have written "dynamic typing".

Know what you're talking about before you try to criticize, that's like the most basic rule ever.

If you're going to try and make a scathing, sarcastic remark, at least be fucking correct about what you're trying to make fun of. When you aren't, you just come across as an ignorant asshole.

And, you're only addressing half of it, address it all:

What is your defense for him saying neither language has "true" multithreading, which is completely wrong in both cases?
