I used to be the guy who crapped on other people’s program language of choice. I don’t do it anymore (change IS possible!). If a language lets you solve the problem you’re trying to solve, and you like it, USE IT. There may be other languages better suited for the problem, and that’s fine - it doesn’t mean you have to use them.
Some programming languages work better for us than others. I hated Java, and fell in love with Ruby. I solve problems way, way faster in Ruby and have more fun doing it, so I use it. That doesn’t mean Java is bad, it’s just not for me.
Let people live. Don’t yuck their yum. Do your own thing and program like no one’s watching, because most of the time, they aren’t.
