Ideally we should use the right tool for the job, but sometimes time constraints pressure us to try to use the tool we know best for any job, and the next thing you know we're using a wrench to twist a nail into the wall. We might get it in there, but it's ugly, crooked, and likely to fall apart with little weight, and all because we didn't have, or didn't want to take, the time to learn to use a hammer.

To be fair, one equally shouldn't try to program in Java with python on the brain, it's going to turn out just as hideous and slow, and the developer will probably be more furious at the number of recompilations caused because approach the problem with the right mindset.
