That's very charitable to programmers. I don't think it's fair to assume that most--or even many--people choose their language on entirely rational grounds or the quality of each language.
If you just followed popularity, you'd probably end up using Java, and nobody wants to go there.
- i386 14y agoThat's pretty uncharitable to say about Java. If it was a bad language it wouldn't be so widely adopted. And you can make excellent software with it - it just depends who's writing the code.
