I love how some programming languages allow you to express your intent on a high level, while others put almost no boundaries between you and the machine. But looking at the architecture of large-scale systems, I feel the choice of language almost doesn’t matter at all

How many large-scale systems written in such programming languages have you actually studied?

What matters most is how people communicate with each other.

I think there are much more practical reasons why to prefer a language over another, mostly due to market share. Higher market share means more available staff and also excellent tool support: mobile.twitter.com/christian…

Whenever I switch from #Java to any other language, I get reminded that Java lives in the tool support paradise by @jetbrains @intellijidea.

you mean we shouldn't rewrite all the existing code in React and GraphQL? Weird idea 🤔

Erlang is interesting; i know of no other language or language ecosystem with such a strong influence on systems architecture. Maybe it’s the exception to the rule.
