Juerd: eh in today's world of heavy JS on the clientside, i think it makes a little more sense to use the same lang. everywhere |
| Juerd |
rbastic: JS on the client side is because often it's the only option the universe provides. |
| rbastic |
Juerd: from a business perspective, you reduce the complexity and potential difficulties in finding new hires with the same skillset |
| rindolf |
rbastic: have you heard of RJS? |
| Juerd |
rbastic: On the server side, however, you have great freedom. |
| rbastic |
rindolf: no, what's that? |

larry wants perl6 to run on javascript :) |
| rindolf |
rbastic: "One Language; and One Sayings". |
| Juerd |
rbastic: Exactly. I would never hire a server side programmer who knows *only* Javascript, and is too stupid to learn whatever we're using on the server side. |
| rindolf |
rbastic: my translation to a sentence from the Tower of Babel myth. |
| rbastic |
Juerd: i'll agree with that also. any real programmer knows or has at least coded in half a dozen languages before |
| Juerd |
From a business perspective, you should avoid crap coders at all cost. |
| Juerd |
Knows *or* has coded... Hmmm...! |
| rindolf |
rbastic: though according to what most scholars believe it was not about using one language but rather thinking the same. |
| Juerd |
I hope they haven't coded in half a dozen languages without knowing them. |
| Juerd |
That'd be scary. |
| zshzn |
Reality is scary, Juerd |

Hmm, BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, assembler, C, more assembler, C, Pascal ... Perl! |
