Is it really this hard for devs to learn proper languages for whatever they're doing?
It's not hard.
But given a choice between Platform A which says "write in a language that all of you already know", and Platform B which says "write in this language most of you don't already know and would have to put in time and effort to learn before you could do anything useful with this platform"... which one would you bet on?
- plaguuuuuu 13y agoNot sure what sort of crack everyone else is smoking, but I generally base my decisions on how painless it is to develop for a new platform rather than one I already know. Other than that, if I don't know the language, but the environment really kicks ass, I'm going to learn the damn language. Unless I'm really rushed and have 2 days to do a vast amount of work.
- kristiandupont 13y agoWell how could you possibly know for a platform that you have no experience with?
