Languages are tools and not tribes.
- BiosElement 6y agoFrom reading the blog, he only started getting into rust because of issues with Go, so this seems a pretty unfair criticism here.
- bsder 6y ago> Languages are tools and not tribes. That's incorrect. The tribe is the more important feature than the programming language. C became the tribe of "systems programmers". Lisp rose and fell with the initial tribe of AI. Perl was the tribe of the system administrator and fell when they did. Ruby rose and fell with the tribe of Rails. Python is riding the tribe of numerics. The language needs to at least be not actively hostile to the tribe, but after that it's pretty irrelevant.
