I’m not going to speak about specific languages because they will distract readers.
What I discovered over years is that I should just use the right tools for each job. Trying to use a specific language outside its well-established niches resulted in a lot of wasted time.
You can spend years on silencing every little inconvenience and every little noise by trying to use a specific language everywhere. That doesn’t work.
If you want to move forward in life, you have to just suck it up and use the right languages for each task.
You may not like the fact that a specific language doesn’t have specific constructs, but it can get this current job done quickly without fuss.
Developing attachment to a specific language that’s not going to maintain its sharp edge for very long anyway will only lead to time waste and disappointments.
Screw programming languages. Just focus on accomplishing the task at hand quickly.
If your life satisfaction depends on using specific programming languages, you won’t have a good life. Just get things done, and move on, and enjoy free time and wealth.
