Yep. It's like a crossfit vegan religion at this point.

You don't even have to ask. They will tell you and usually add nothing to the conversation while doing so.

Quite off-putting.

Sorry, but it's honestly just a lot of our journeys. Started on scripting languages like PHP/Ruby/Lua (self-taught) or Java/VB/C#/Python (collage) and then slowly expanded to other languages as we realized we were being held back by our own tools. Each new language/relationship makes you kick yourself for putting up with things so long.

I mean, it's kinda like complaining that people are mentioning excavators on your "how I optimised digging a massive ditch with teaspoons" post.
