Thank you for a thoughtful, detailed response. It seems like a mix of job exposure and natural curiosity led you from language to language.

Throughout this thread, I've noted a distinct lack of dogma about everyone's evolution as a programmer. While I imagine there was some of it during the popular phase of many of these languages, it's nice to see mostly pragmatism in everyone's career journey.

I think the people who stick to dogma are the ones who don't make long multi-decade careers out of programming.
