6 Languages You Wish the Boss Let You Use
Esther Schindler writes "Several weeks ago, Lynn Greiner's article on the state of the scripting universe was slashdotted. Several people raised their eyebrows at the (to them) obvious omissions, since the article only covered PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl and JavaScript. As I wrote at the time, Lynn chose those languages because hers was a follow-up to an article from three years back. However, it was a fair point. While CIO has covered several in depth, those five dynamic languages are not the only ones developers use. In 6 Scripting Languages Your Developers Wish You'd Let Them Use, CIO looks at several (including Groovy, Scala, Lua, F#, Clojure and Boo) which deserve more attention for business software development, even if your shop is dedicated to Java or .NET. Each language gets a formal definition and then a quote or two from a developer who explains why it inspires passion."
Oh, you meant programming. Well, fuck it. =P

Your programming skills should not be tied to the language you use.
Quite. I use harsh language and it hasn't interfered with my programing skills whatsoever.
Stupid git.

Made from the freshest electrons.
It must be true that this takes time. I've been programming in Perl for years and have yet to learn anything about the compiler.
