Whining about the “death of pop culture “ as if it’s something of value. The promotion of vacuous celebrities instead of those that contribute something meaningful to society is half of societies current problems.

What this is really about is the vested interests that have influenced public viewpoints for decades are panicking as they loose influence to others.

Program in assembly, 40 columns is plenty. You just need an awful lot of rows.

The qualities you describe are a function of the programmer's talent and their familiarity with the language, not the language itself. So there are no 'correct' answers, just opinions.
