Read Original

This article defends the use of 'boring' programming languages like Java for challenging work. The author argues that while 'interesting' languages are better for boilerplate-heavy tasks, they offer little advantage for solving hard problems, where deep domain knowledge is more critical. The piece also contends that most impressive systems and talented colleagues are found in ecosystems using these established languages.
