Plans change :) If/when you find you do need to change something, having preferred suitable tools in your main language will make this easier.


I agree. But also it doesn't make sense to pick a tool that doesn't quite fulfil your requirements, is buggy or has other problems over a battle tested tool that does solve all of your requirements bar the language it's compiled in.

I have no issue with people picking tools written in their preferred language if that is the differentiator between two competing solutions. However picking the wrong tool because it's written in the right language is a fools move. Which is the point I'm making. Language purity is great just so long as it doesn't lure you into using shit tools.
