I'm always amazed at the reluctance of developers to learn and use multiple languages. To use an old analogy: they're like carpenters who are unwilling to learn how to use a saw because they have a perfectly good hammer.
- worrycue 5y agoStill learning a language (or a carpentry tool for the matter) is a cost no matter how easy. It would be great if we could have a unicorn language that can do it all optimally - or at least adequately. Then we can fully focus and master that one language. Nevertheless I think most will agree that JavaScript isn’t that language.
