In my world, humans don't adapt to tools but human adapt tools to their
needs.

It's normal, he was an ass. When I manage a team, I don't enforce tools
or language, I ask them to work the best way they can to get the things
done. If they want to write C in Perl (as I often do), I'm happy. If
they prefer Ruby (that I never learnt), or Lisp ... as long as it works
and they are able to maintain it, I'm happy as well.

Nothing is more enjoyable than a platform running a variety of languages
and technologies, working all together.

And FYI, I've done this way since 25 years and I count a few good
success in my career. Practically, my way of doing things works is at least
as well as any.
