How snarky.  I hope that's working out for you.

I tend to believe that every problem has at least one "natural"
language.  Solutions to that problem should (where reasonable) be
formulated in its natural language, regardless of the age or obscurity
of the language.

Plus, I use a lot of legacy tools, written in a lot of different
languages.  I'd rather keep a rich tech stack than spend time rewriting
everything from scratch just so I can have it in a particular language.
