That has not been my experience. Companies can and should develop a set of technologies that they as an organization feel comfortable with, but this list should be dynamic and should have some diversity in it. Don’t allow every technology under the sun without any vetting, but also don’t force everyone to use the one true programming language, Java.
- TurboHaskal 7y agoBut that's what I meant by top-down controlling of the language stack: Which in the context of the blog post, would be the contrary of "valuing choice and freedom over rules and processes." It doesn't have to be a single language, of course. The typical "use / ask / forbidden" matrix for new projects would suffice. I don't have a problem with that, personally. It is only when programming languages are _exclusively_ being chosen out of non technical reasons that the fun ends and I'm out. Sadly, it happens too often.
