Yeah, I think they're just the more vocal subset of users. The same thing happens in functional languages. (Especially Lisp.)

Array languages in general are fun to use because you can express a great deal in very little space. Of course, you have to think more about how to encode something, or even when reading. I feel like those are good muscles to exercise for when you're reading more densely written code in any language.
