Some folks are trying to make a living by writing software. As such
they may tend toward the proprietary side of things. They need to
choose a language that their corporate successors will be able to
support. They need to choose a language in which they can get the job
done on time. Their software needs to cater to the perceived user
demographic. There are a lot of demands, sometimes conflicting demands,
they have to resolve. That situation tends, at least in my experience,
to be very constricting, one could almost say enslaving.

There is however another situation, another point of view. Some of us
have done the "employed as a programmer" thing and survived to lick our
wounds and look around. We can do whatever we choose, however we like,
and if nobody else likes it that's fine, it won't change our standard of
living.

I'm sure there are even more points of view, but the second one is where
I'm coming from. As such, I tend to look at things somewhat differently
than many/most. For example, I don't want to have to write different
code for a web-app versus a local-app, and I don't want to have to write
different code for an X-based app as opposed to an app that will run
without an active X session. I could write assembler but long ago I got
tired of porting code from architecture to architecture, I could write C
or C++ but there are only a relative few kinds of code that require
enough performance and precision to justify putting up with the syntax
and limitations of those languages.

One of the things I learned about software a long time ago is that
there's no single answer, some answers are broken and others not, some
work better or worse than others in some ways, but it isn't a YES/NO
question.
