Are we the programming equivalent of "fake" martial arts?

hmm… to me a language is fundamentally just a tool… now… what is the right / best
tool you ask… well… IT DEPENDS!!! :slight_smile:

so… yeah… one important factor will be the skills / training of the people
wielding it…

another important factor will be the nature of the job…

say you wanna get a discussion forum like clojureverse or ask-clojure
up and running… would you build it using clojure?.. well… maybe… maybe not…
you see… IT DEPENDS!!! :slight_smile:

p.s. look… just as with the current corona situation… people yearn
for a simple solution / answer… i can understand that… yet because
of the inherent complexity involved… no respectable person can provide such a thing, because… well… because there is no such thing! :slight_smile:

p.p.s. … also… you know… and for example… try to define success: Spaceflight-programs and software-projects
