A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

To be a bit more verbose, I don't think all programming languages are created equal, and its a disservice to pretend it is.
Duck Duck Go was written in Perl. GitHub (originally) in Ruby on Rails.
They're tools only because they're general purpose programming languages. The real path to success is in choosing a tool that you're good at using (no matter how blunt), rather than pretending all tools are equal.
Sure but dissing on languages you don't like will only make devs who like those languages defensive. Not every dev is good only at languages you're good at.
