Despite some questionable uses of that word, I have to admit that it's a useful classifier for what has essentially become a consolidated political movement.
Everyone seems to know the ideology it's describing when they hear it, and I don't know of another term that does that.
On another tangent: "SJW" was originally coined by social justice warriors as a way to describe themselves. It only became an offensive word once people started lampooning it, but it's still a fair term to use given its history and original intent.
What bothers me most about this language isn't the orphaned braces, or the case sensitive keywords or any of the other quirky decisions.
What bothers me most is the monkey mascot. What relevance does a monkey have to this programming language? Is the idea that it's so simple a monkey could do it? Is the monkey Zimbu? It isn't explained anywhere, and I'm betting it's just some random animal they chose without any thought because it's cute.
At least the Go gopher makes a little bit of sense (GOpher). This monkey seems like a completely nonsensical choice though.
