Re: Snorby opinions

[Dustin Webber <dustin.webber () gmail com>]

All,

I would like to clarify that I was talking about the languages -- not
applications written in them. If you're a good programmer you could build
amazing applications with anything. Just consider all languages before you
start a new project. If that language works best for the job... then use it.
(except php.. never use that.)

Honestly.. we should all be writing in TCL anyways...
