I'm a prototyper, so people often come to me first to vet new ideas. Often times this means implementing a feature on an existing product platform. When I started doing this 5 years ago, I was working with a new language every month. It was ruby one day, C# the next, and I'd go to sleep every night praying next week wouldn't be PHP. These days everyone is using javascript. In the last year I've done countless javascript projects and one project in java. I can't tell you how refreshing it is to not have to brush up on syntax and install a suite of tools every time I want to work on a new product. Nowadays it's just clone the repo, do a npm install, and you're up and running for the most part. It's lovely.
