> Pick a language that most programmers consider weird but whose median user is smart
This just comes across as arrogant. You can neither know how smart the median user is, nor does it say much about the merits of the tool. It encourages some weird sense of superiority by putting yourself in a group that's exclusive and think they're smarter than everyone else. There are better ways to pick programming languages than trying to maximise your own pretentiousness.
