Sure there is.  I am married because of C++.  Before C++ I kinda-sorta
enjoyed my job.  After the C++ fiasco hit the industry in the '90s, I
increasingly despised it.  Finally I tossed it all away and got a job
that didn't involve 12+ hours per day, 7 days per week of hating my work
and my life.  This allowed me the social life I needed to, you know,
actually meet people and finally wind up married.  :D

Had I been programming with a language that didn't suck over that
period, I'd still be working 12+ hours per day, 7 days per week.  I just
wouldn't have hated my life in the process.  ;)
