I don’t agree with this. If you found your favorite type of car, then that’s your preference. Each car can take you to roughly same place (unless you have a specific use case like off-road). If you a preference for a language, but your use case needs another language, then use case trumps preference. It’s silly to belittle a language preference given the facts.

Some languages and ecosystems are delightful to work with and people absolutely make reasonable trade offs to stay in them.

You and I agree. We are discussing people who don’t understand this nuance. That’s the majority of people I’ve met.

That’s why i said we use a hammer for a nail, and not a saw. Aka using the tool that makes sense.
