"Looking at job vacancies gives some languages higher ratings than are probably realistic, due to the verbosity of the language."

Of course there are exceptions, that goes without saying and there are cases for all languages to be used in specific situations.

But I think your statement will cause a lot of animosity in both camps if you seriously think.
