Re: [arch-projects] Why do we choose the programming languages that we do?

Hmmm, that's a good question... it may have something to do with the way you learn something. I first learned C/C++, then moved to other things... most of my professors in school, while they taught other things, had begun with C. Maybe the style rubs off.... I also think there are certain parallels to the WM a person chooses. There's features which are important to one person and not another: some like eye candy, others like intuitiveness. This could be extended to the language world... I, personally, love scientific programming, and therefore, need high speed numerics.... which you won't find in anything high level or scripted... it's a feature that's important to me, but wouldn't be to, say, a GUI developer.
