The more experience I get, the more I think that most languages are just fine. Coding is increasingly the easiest part of my job. I’d work in PHP if needed.

- jjav 6y ago> The more experience I get, the more I think that most languages are just fine. Quite. Just give me a boring language with a stable ecosystem, mature and extensive tooling and fully understood quirks. That means all the time and effort can be spent building the actual product instead of burning time monkeying around with the shiny-new language. This means that things like Java and PHP (and C in some domains) are nearly universally the correct answer if your goal is to build a product instead of building a resume.
