It feels like anything is mowed down on the internet. I’ve been a dev for a long time too, and I never feel sure when I chose a stack for a new toy project (in my day job I rarely get to chose, so that’s a non issue there)

Pick a movie. Any movie. You will always find reviews both praising it and disparaging it.
Programming languages are similar. People will always have their opinions about things. It’s your choice to try them and decide for yourself if you like them.
Just don’t choose PHP ;)
I loved this analogy, it works for old languages as old movies, some characteristics as movie genres and to explain there is not just one and only right language, and that people would have different preferences.
