Which Programming Language is good ?

"...One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them...."


The topic has been debated numerous times in the past, in various Forums, Newsgroups, mailing lists, coffee tables,etc. - but, it still goes on. The answer has always been the same - you need to choose the right tool for the right job. The mythical "Silver Bullet" does not exist & there will never be one.

You need to decide the tool to use for a particular job & use that tool correctly. It's no use trying to debate over the "best" language & these discussions are simply absurd.

I think this "old" article by Tim Daneliuk summarizes the thought process that goes on in these kind of debates.

Moral of the story : There is no Silver Bullet. There is no One Ring.
