Not always, hence why you get to situations like that car repair shop in Poland using a C64 to manage their businesses.

As language geek I dabble in every language I can put my hands on.

Yet when it comes to work, it is always Java, C#, JavaScript, C++, SQL, because that is what RFPs allow for.

oh good lord are we pedantic. Yes, not everyone uses the same techs. All i'm trying to say is that we'll see more and more of it.

It's already happening with Elm, Elixir, etc.

No, just not everyone lives on Silicon Valley, or cool cities with startups.

There are zero jobs for Elm, Elixir, .... where I live.

The parent claimed "Elm, Elixer, ..." were the future of the industry. You seem to be asserting that they are not the present.

I am asserting most of us across the world, work in boring companies whose main business is not software development and don't use such languages and never will, yes.

You had only been asserting "don't use such languages", you hadn't really got to "and never will". And I don't know whether I disagree, but you've certainly not made a case for it.

No, you are the ones asserting "don't use such languages".

I am asserting "most of us never will never be allowed to use them at work.", which is quite different point.

Not everyone can relocate just for the pleasure of using another programming language.

But I guess not having job offers on the region one lives is not considered making a point.
