I'm glad Hillel Wayne is getting into this, but as usual I am highly skeptical of the solution he is jesticulating towards. The problem is not too many programming languages lol. How the hell could the difference between 15 and 3 be the problem! The problem is the terrible division of laber between projects, between libraries, between kernel space and user space, and between hardware and software. The problem is Conways law, or zoomed out, incremental evolution on the industry scale promotes biology-like over-complexity. The solution is planning, and the first step of planning is seeing what the hell is going on. The key ingredient for that first step is Nixpkgs.
