This isn't directed at you, Val, but it's related to the sentiment
you express above:

The "right tool for the job" is not the same as "my personal preference".
If both "the right tool for the job" and "personal preference" point to
the same language/toolset, then great.  If not, then you have a decision
to make.  You can tell a hacker from an engineer in how that decision
is made.

The more tools you have experience with, the better equipped you are
to make that decision.  The more problem domains you have experience
with, the better equipped you are, as well.
