The only people who obsess over languages are the core contributors (1%) or the guy who has been a mid level senior for 20 years and kind of stopped growing/learning years ago (95%) Everyone else is the SWE turned entrepreneur who doesn’t give a fuck and just wants fastest ROI. Aka using a hammer instead of a saw to put in a nail.
I don’t agree with this. If you found your favorite type of car, then that’s your preference. Each car can take you to roughly same place (unless you have a specific use case like off-road). If you a preference for a language, but your use case needs another language, then use case trumps preference. It’s silly to belittle a language preference given the facts. Some languages and ecosystems are delightful to work wit…
You and I agree. We are discussing people who don’t understand this nuance. That’s the majority of people I’ve met.
That’s why i said we use a hammer for a nail, and not a saw. Aka using the tool that makes sense.
