    The best programming language is the one you know well and enjoy using. The one that makes you feel productive. Minecraft was written in Java, by someone who knew Java.

        Lots of people missing the point... 1. Creating is about catching your ideas as they appear, and shipping them. You can only do that with the tools you have. Any tool that helps you ship is a good tool. 2. You can achieve greatness with any toolset. It's the maker, not the tool

        If the creator of Minecraft felt like he needed a CS PhD + deep mastery of C++ to work on his ideas, Minecraft *wouldn't exist*. Success generally doesn't hinge on the difference between perfect execution and average execution, but in the difference between something and nothing.

        Respectfully disagree. This soon leads to mediocracy. Subjective opinion is good but only goes as far as our knowledge not our needs. Not to mention we may not related with lang like Scala at first sight.

        Or #Clojure. Funny how people get scared by parentheses but not code complexity and other problems.

        I guess it still depends on the ecosystem of said language If I had to re-write from scratch numpy, or numba, or Tensorflow, I'd never use Python I feel that nowadays it's not really a matter of language, but rather of environment

        Somehow, I was internally ranting about Java and its terrible impact on the industry just a few minutes before your tweet, so looks like we're arguing now. Okay. I'd still prefer Minecraft to be written in C++, any day. As, basically, anything written in Java.

        I'm so sick of those Programming Languages wars. For each problem, there is a collections of tools to solve it. Pick the one that you like and just do the work.
