If in the newsgroup comp.lang.x somone asks how to do y, and you suggest using language z, without answering their question, which was how to do it in x, you will likely just annoy people and perhaps make it even less likely that they will try z.
I have my own favorite language z and have not always heeded the above advice, but I think the principle is still correct. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
