yes it's very much about having to go with the flow: in the past I've used Ruby for a swathe of scripting and prototyping tasks, fell in love with it and assumed it'd always be the go-to tool of choice, but now working on locked-down Red Hat envs where Ruby is not installed but Python is, so purely for that reason was forced to transition to using Python instead.
