..... I kind of disagree, programming in wonderful language X may
produce a working app, but there may be other considerations that make
working apps in X less desirable than an implementation in Y. Typically
maintainability is used to require that a 'popular' language is used. If
language X only lives on BongoCorp Turbinator 9 machines it may have
implications about portability etc etc.
