There is a certain type of person (I once fit the mold) who thinks new languages could significantly improve software development. The evidence is to the contrary, and many improvements turn out to be double-edged swords, capable of doing damage in the wrong hands. I am still interested in new languages, but I am no longer looking for the holy grail.

I've actually grown extremely bored of programming language debates and yet continue to be fascinated with the act of programming. Each language has something new to offer and also some limitation(s). Why not try them all?

I believe opening our minds will be the only way to achieve meaningful improvement in software development.

I also believe this is easier said than done.
