Indeed, I have a friend who totally loved Mumps. I have almost 40 years with Common Lisp, love the language, but I have always been fairly open to what customers want. I know people who do amazing things with Python or Java.

I don’t much care about other peoples’ preferences for politics, programming language selection, or religion (or lack thereof).

It seems best for a team to choose a stack by some form consensus, and stick with it.

I have read the linked article several times in the 5 years since it was written, and I enjoy the shared experience. But the article could also have been about using Clojure, or Ruby, etc., etc. And also been interesting.
