Mojo is what is keeping me vindicated that python was a good choice. That and it's worked for every project I've ever used it for lol
But that's small potatoes in the technologist game
The best tool is the best tool for the job. My php code was immaculate - import header, write your content, import footer. I wrote it all in a few hours, and I think my university is still using it today. One of my proudest moments was when a team member whose abilities I respected gushed over how easy my code was to work with
I haven't used it since.
I'm led to believe modern PHP has become pretty good. It's also never been the right tool for the job since then
Mojo sounds incredible - python is a beautifully consistent language, and I've written a shit load of it. I like it a lot. It's often not the right tool for the job, but mojo promises to turn it into something extraordinary that shores up its weaknesses... It's just promises so far though, I really hope they pan out
But always ask yourself - what's the right tool for the job?
