yeah.
that's a pretty compelling reason, but on the other hand, there's a lot of value to be had from modularizing your codebase and microservices so... you could do all future dev in a new language, and if you wanted, gradually convert your existing modules. Sadly, few places think far enough ahead to see the values of modularity (even ignoring language switching) and end up with giant monolithic codebases so language switching just isn't an option without a complete rewrite.
- mmartinson 8y agoWhile you have some good points, I'm not sure monolith and modularity are mutually exclusive. Some places I'm sure think some places think far ahead, and determine that the cost of microservices isn't worth the later benefit while they're trying to bootstrap a project.
