We aren't talking about people in this specific thread of discussion. You do realize that, right? We are talking about people we work with, people we have worked with in the past, people we meet at conferences, people we deal with at other online venues, people we read articles written by, and so forth.

Some of those people are the ones who are responsible for (unjustifiably, in my opinion) giving the C-style syntax a bad reputation by expressing their dislike for it.
