Recently, for example, I was explaining to a colleague why I like to prototype things in JPython. I spent the next five minutes explaining I didn't even take a breath. At this point I found it better not to continue the conversation. I try to avoid religious attachment to technology. Perl programmers seem particularly attached to their language.
Developers have favorite languages just like developers have their favorite editor.
Java is one of my favorite programming languages. However, it's more than just a language, it's a platform, and Java the platform runs many, many programming languages.
