I agree with this point ... isn't it comparable to what would happen if someone were cloned into 1000's of people, and then a disease came along that the original person was very susceptible to, and it killed all of them right off, since they were homogenized. (I think it could also be similar to microsoft and it's history.)

Anyways, I can see where you are coming from on this point, and agree that it's not good to consider one language to be the 'end all' of all other types of computer languages, it can only end up hurting the language itself, and prevent those who think it is from becoming developed programmers in today's changing world.

Thanks for the insight!
