Never said C was your first language, only that you're familiar with it.
But that is more like an obvious fact about everything rather than a counter-argument. Your e-mail, at least how I interpreted it, was a fairly straight forward accent on my strong bias with a flavour of making it an example for everyone to note. It would supposedly hold as an argument if I was used to C more than python, which would indicate my strong bias. While now, I am mostly interested in python and it’s long term trajectory, given I suspect I will be using it in 2 or 3 years time. If I see a pseudocode of a non-existent language and I get an idea how to make python nicer, I will use it. But the argument that I am familiar with something that others are not is not really a counter-argument (to anything). Except maybe serves to emphasise a general human aversion to change, which is naturally less for someone who is a bit familiar. So yes, I am less averse to such change because of 2 factors: 1. I am familiar with expression that I am proposing 2. This is my proposal But neither 1 nor 2 are valid counter-arguments against what I am proposing. And yes,

This is NOT a good example, my first language was R, second - python, third matlab, etc.
I only became familiar with C/C++ after several years of coding experience.
This is why, I would dare to say that this preference of mine is not affected by prejudices.
Never said C was your first language, only that you're familiar with it. And that familiarity inevitably WILL affect your perception, as per what I said.
