As with all "why we changed from technology X to technology Y", the story is that there was this or that perceived shortcoming in technology X and technology Y will be our savior and fix all our problems, or conform to our software ideology/dogma. I used to read these things but given that I've read one, I've read em all. The only reason people keep writing these things is blog filler to promote their company or do indirect recruiting. Surely cannot be cause anyone cares why you use a blue pen instead of a black pen. |

Actually... I think folks do care. But I also think that depends a bit on how you look at what's interesting. Some people want to use new languages or different languages for the sake of them being new or different. Others are more restrained but will reach out to a new language or experiment with it if they have some reason to assume this language can solve their problem better (for a definition of better). Others are set in stone and won't consider moving on from what they know.
What makes some of these posts interesting is when it goes much deeper and has thorough details that show how switching to a different language improved the situation for them, on the axis they were looking to improve. With actual metrics, crashes in production for example, deployment size, time from commit to deploy, resource usage etc. etc.
