Should we standardize on a single language for the server-side as well?

Should we standardize on a single language for the server-side as well?
- lhorie 16y agoThe server-side is a good example of the fragmentation I mentioned. There are classes of projects that are hopelessly redundant (e.g. minimalist MVC frameworks), and classes of projects that only exist/work in some languages for various reasons (e.g. async MySQL APIs). In an ideal world, I'd prefer if there weren't so many languages that do essentially the same thing with different syntaxes, but then again, standardization in itself is its own little can of worms (the short story being that it involves a lot of politics).
