I was reading some of the replies over the last few days, have 
replied to a couple of them, and saw some more.

Enjoyed reading some of the responses that were in the same fun 
and innocuous spirit in which I wrote the post. (The D-series of 
terms, I mean - cool and creative, guys :)

Was surprised by some of the other reactions, many of which are 
probably due to misinterpretation of what I wrote. Will be 
replying to some more comments, as I think is needed, in a couple 
of days, but meanwhile, some of those commenters may find 
something to think about (w.r.t. to claims or "deductions" they 
have made about (their) perceived meaning of my original post), 
in this article, an interview of me from over a year ago:

In particular, pay specific attention to my replies to the 
interviewer about favorite  programming languages, and see how 
well (not!) that correlates with claims or "deductions" that you 
made here.
