Modern programming language features are overrated. I prefer to choose the tools that are the most portable and involve the least social friction (i.e. something that is widely understood by people I work with). For "fun" projects (stuff I'm not paid for) and workflow optimization, I just care about portability, which means C (with heavy use of the C stream library, a simple collections library of about 200 LOC, and occasionally POSIX syscalls) and shell scripting. After spending a lot of time learning languages as a hobby, I just don't believe the dark corners and warts of C and shell scripting are any worse than other languages. |
