It’s handy having a single language and toolset for programming. There’s less friction when switching between codebases. I’ve been paid to program in a whole lot of languages over my career, and personally preferred the environments where I didn’t have to switch languages all the time when working in different layers of the stack.

These days, I’m mostly paid to write web applications. So, I default to JavaScript. That said, there are plenty of problems where JavaScript is such a poor fit that I’ll reach for something else.
