yes. this. a thousand times this. while the *right* choice may vary, harmful outcomes seem pretty common across langs.

I've found that the right choice varies but is based on a few core axioms that people just love to resist.

yeah, i think that captures it. it's variance within some really well-defined parameters, not crazy unknown unknowns

but on the flip side "y we no one package manager for all languages" ignores variance. That's why a framework is the right thing.

sooooo ... do you know or are willing to learn Rust? (I know enough Go to be dangerous, and certainly to read gps)
