I can think of numerous widely-adpoted languages that disprove that
assertion, by nevertheless being poorly-designed languages that are
loathed by the vast majority of programmers who use them.
On the other hand, I think there is merit in an argument that runs the
other way: the quality of languages that a community adopts are
predictive of the quality of programs that community will produce.
