Totally agree with this. I've had to pick up the pieces on more than one occasion when some key piece of code was written in the flavour of the month and the writer shortly left. I've heard other Devs say you should pick the right language for the job but I think there should be a heavy bias to what the rest of the code base already is using
- megous 9y agoNone of those, except perhaps for the golang are a flavor of the month languages. Using "Right tool for the job" is also important.
