The problem is, I might end up maintaining the rubbish you write in language X and that language might not lend itself particularly well to maintenance.
So, it's reasonably important that the status quo be a good language, and of course everyone has a different opinion on what forms a good language. I imagine that if programmers always had a free choice about what language to use, a lot of these discussions would disappear. -----Original Message----- From: Moandji Ezana <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2011 13:25:42 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [The Java Posse] Re: Coda Hale on Scala Tempest in a teapot. I don't get these language debates that have the same tone as Android vs. iOS debates, each side trying to prove its superiority. Especially in a supposedly polyglot world, what's the point?
