Pragmatic use of $LANGUAGE is a telltale sign of the wizened programmer; one who understands the use-case and solution set well enough to know when the tool fits.

I wrote Ruby when I got started because it was the most accessible and the Rails learning content was top notch. Now I use python when I need more than a few `bash` pipes to accomplish anything, but if I were to solve a capital-P Problem, of course the tool often chooses the project after constraints.
