We all say choose the tools best for the job or those that work for you. But the fact is that different tools can do the same job and can work for you. Like I want to build a simple API backend, I can code in Python, Elixir, Go, Rust, Clojure Typescript, OCaml and F#. What should I do then?
My point here is for general-purpose applications, and you know a few programming languages pretty well, it seems choosing Python is the more sensible.
Which is kinda sad, really.
