Richard, you keep doing what you're doing; that guy doesn't know what
the fuck he's talking about.

It's not your fault neither he nor his manager have any idea what
objects all the way down means and that he thinks JS and a whole bunch
of other languages have done this just shows he still has no idea what
objects all the way down means.
These easily offended people and their entitlement to think they can
tell you what you should or shouldn't say about a language you like can
be dealt with by telling them to go fuck themselves.
I've liked your articles, and JavaScript is a shitty language no matter
how many newbs pick it up; popularity doesn't mean quality.
