I pick the best tool for the job. I'm using pything because right now I'm in a python shop. I'd like to go back to Java though as pythons asyncio is insane. The only reason I'm using pyhton is because the people inheriting my code will only know python.
What may look like "bah humbug I'll use X because I like it" may just be picking a language on concerns not limited to features. Looking at social concerns is important as well. Who is maintaining your code after you're gone? Company tooling for certain languages? Will I get fired for using it (AI winter)?
