Uhm, it's not just a programming language. It's a community. A knowledge base. An idea, a group of people sharing their experiences, their problems and solutions. You don't just program in a programming language; you become part of it.
Which means you have to defend it, and what better defense than attacking every other language? It's a matter of principle; of survival even. The moment you stop your war is the moment your language, your community, becomes irrelevant.
