It's like everyone looking at everyone else's fashion sense and then quickly getting down the shops to buy up the same sort of stuff.

I suppose it depends on what you are trying to do - if it is looking good to those with fashion sense - better get down them shops. If it's to like, actually build stuff - the feeling of being uncool because of what language you use is a massive distraction to ignore.

I've been learning Go because its a great language for concurrent server systems (and better than node in some areas).

That I feel slightly cooler because of that choice feels a bit like having the right daps (sneakers) at school.
