I also agree with this. Some people treats languages like forks. It's just a fork why pick another it will do just fine right? Well languages are more like artist tools I think. Of course you can draw a perfect horse with pen/pastel/charcoals as in writing really good i.e Chat Server with Java/Erlang, but each of them has different taste, feeling, community. Picking a language is pretty different than picking a fork. And those all the way Javascript / Java lovers feels like 0.7/0.5 mechanical pencil users that tries draw everything with that. How about trying a brush? (Maybe I shouldn't have pushed this analogy this far)

No offense to, my fork lover friends.
