It doesn't come down to it: it was about economics all along. All these philosophies -- polyglot, more monoglot, etc. -- have costs. You can choose to ignore it sometimes by staunchly recommending one approach over another in generic settings. But the underlying costs are still there.
- noir-york 11y agoAbsolutely! Its economics all along. Anyone who advocates pure monoglot or always using the best tool is not being pragmatic. Decisions should be driven by cost/benefit and not religion.
- afarrell 11y agoAlthough cost/benefit varies based on who is doing the programming. As someone who hasn't worked in CL, debugging CL is going to take an order of magnitude longer than debugging python.
