| rbastic | Juerd: eh in today's world of heavy JS on the client side, i think it makes a little more sense to use the same language 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? |
| Caelum | 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 |
| talexb | Hmm, BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, assembler, C, more assembler, C, Pascal ... Perl! |
