My friend Greg and I are always talking about all aspects of development, and something that I’ve always thought is much more elegantly described in the following quote:
It is worth remembering that a new programming language is sometimes viewed as a panacea, especially by its adherents; however, there is no one language that will supplant all the others, no one tool that is unarguably the best for every possible task. There are many different problem domains in the world, and there are many possible constraints on problems within those domains.
- Hal Fulton (in “The Ruby Way”).
Now that’s what Willis was talkin’ ’bout.
