And the rest of this email is "wiser-than-thou" bullshit. Programming languages ARE tools. If you enjoy using shitty tools to earn your living, when superior tools are available, you ARE mentally deficient. If someone came to me and asked me to rebuild an engine with a hammer and a screwdriver, I would change jobs. With sufficient effort, I'm sure it's possible, but my work would not be enjoyable. It's not all about blogging, Dan.
