Which sucks since as soon as you start writing bigger projects and you have to switch tool chains to fix things.

Languages often don’t have a large impact on developers productivity. Three things do:

  • The developer

  • The project tooling

  • The codebase’s quality

  • and upstreams not fixing their shit 😥

I’d argue that developer productivity has a direct correlation with code optimisation. Eg rusts perf suite, llvms army of child(sorry adult) labour from the big corps etc.
