Christopher M. HobbsI'm not sure why I never ran with Python. It seems like the logical progression on gnu/linux systems from the days of Perl. Somehow I fell into Ruby for general purpose programming. Part of me feels like I should shore up my Python and C knowledge for my daily driving but I need to hone my golang and JavaScript chops for work. Trying to shoehorn lisp into everything and being enticed by things like elixir is making those decisions even harder. I worry about becoming irrelevant as a programmer by not keeping up with the flavor of the week and I worry about not being able to maintain my systems by not getting more comfortable with the staples.

I think "on the shoulders of giants" toolchains are a good thing.
