I won't find it compelling for he create Linux or Git, because I don't use either one of them.  I use Windows and Team Foundation Server; Microsoft geek I am?

Always surpassed when people focus on Mr. Torvalds' public responses and characterise him as an a**hole. They ignore the stupidity and obvious condescension of the comments he is rebutting as if it were OK to be an a**hole if you haven't created software as significant as Linux or Git. I suspect this is why Mr Torvalds is OK with being an a**hole himself.
'The best mr. Kakurin could've done was just ignore such rudeness.'
I would suggest it would be more appropriate to say 'the best thing Mr. Torvalds could do is ignore such rudeness'.
But sadly in this case, as with most others, the 'bitch slap' was well and truly earned.

I read the original message by mr. Kakurin again, and indeed, it was rude.
So I guess you're right, but either way, because they both took the battle head on, they're now both assholes

With all the bickering over languages and technology, I wonder when any real programming gets done. 
BTW, my car is faster than your car.

Yes, even I used to wonder the same. Most of them try "Hello world" program and stop there

He does seem like an ass doesn't he? Maybe it's the prestige of being the Linux creator that gives him the freedom to get away with this? But no reason why he couldn't just state his reasons in a cool, calm manner without vituperation.

Language is only a medium of expression, especially a computer language. It is good to start with one language, and become familiar with its features. But after some years, one should transcend language, and focus on the problem to be solved / resolved.
After all, the pretty GUIs which people see can be made to work with any language behind, isn't it?

I think that the idea that a "computer language" is analogous to a human spoken, and/or written, language is a terribly mis-leading, and superficial, cultural construct (meme). An invidious comparison of something with astounding depth and dimensionality with something relatively shallow, and one-dimensional.
The question of whether language is something that can be "transcended" is also philosophically challenging, suggesting an infinite regress: do we ever have knowledge independent of our encoding of that knowledge ... whether that encoding is glyphs, syllables (morphemes) translated in the mind to patterns of neuronal linkage and activation (phonemes) ... and so forth.
In terms of programming, I've seen brilliant bottom-up self-taught programmers who seemed to almost have "extrasensory" powers, and, I've seen programmers with advanced degrees from places like Stanford who thought in terms of Backus-Knorr diagrams and Design-Patterns who were remarkably un-productive working on real-world products.
From those two extremes I do not infer anything about the average, the mode, or the median

All hail the Universal Turing Machine!
Any language that attempts to abstract away its pure beauty is a tool of the Devil, and should be expunged from the face of the planet!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

"There seems to be a problem with your internet connection. Look online for help and resources?"
I believe that's a standard too

I also like the old BIOS message:
"Monitor not found. Please plug in monitor and press any key to continue."
How do I know that is there? I saw it on the monitor!
How did the BIOS makers think that would get to the user? Telepathy?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The hoax of gravity makes the "global warming" hoax pale by comparison.
If you can't see what the matter is with the idea that gravity "holds" anything, that is absolute proof you are in the state of cultural hypnosis known as "ordinary reality."
Levity is the only thing holding things together.
Once you begin to realize this, you will tread more lightly with more spring in your step.
You will realize that helicopters, airplanes, and birds, do not fly ... because you experience the fact that you, and everybody, and everything else, are flying, and, since everything's flying, you can drop the whole baggage of the concept and pay more attention to your current miraculous altitude.
