I have never been able to rid myself of my earlier career instincts that people who spend time debating the pros and cons of languages are not really builders. I am a computer engineer, I have very little respect for coding languages since ultimately they always come down to the same fundamental computing mechanisms: processors and memory.
Perhaps when efficiency is needed I can understand. But most of the time seeking efficiency is yet another non-builder priority. I have always found efficiency comes from good thought, not good tooling.
