Software seems to degenerate into language wars.

Software is a much larger area than the languages used to write it.
The problem with the Russian contributions to Linux is that there's been a least one back door slipped into Linux by a contributor, and nobody wants any more to get in.
The guy who found that back door did a very neat job - he'd found an odd feature in some performance he'd measured, and tracked down what was causing it.
