Woodworkers are hot on the materials that go into their finished product and, for better or for worse, our language choice brings along a runtime and library that becomes the foundation of our digital artifacts.

Our toolchain matters and mastering more than one is non-trivial. Material world metaphors don’t map well to the digital world. I’m not a fan of Uncle Bob Martin and the tweet about Clojure in 2021 made me giggle but a mediocre proposal doesn’t take away from the importance of the underlying problem; our language ecosystem mastery defines the problem spaces we inhabit.
