I love programming, but in the context of building great products. Languages are just a choose-your-compromise adventure, except JavaScript was chosen for you (it's fun!).
If Lisp powered Salesforce, I'm not sure anyone would describe that sausage as elegant. I'd love to see it consume a SOAP API... Or talk to a Mainframe (lol).
I use a lot of languages in every project and it's great. Purity is boring.
