Do you chose your OS based on which languages are supported with it? Or
do you chose your language based on which OS it works on? In an optimal
world, you wouldn't be forced to make that decision. In real life, on
desktop systems, I find myself picking the OS and chosing the languages
to use based on that. I don't do things in Visual Basic or PL/1 or
Fortran 95 in part because Linux doesn't have a free compiler for me to
use. Such is life.
