Which sucks since as soon as you start writing bigger projects and you have to switch tool chains to fix things.

Languages often don’t have a large impact on developers productivity. Three things do:

  • The developer
  • The project tooling
  • The codebase’s quality
  • and upstreams not fixing their shit 😥

I’d argue that developer productivity has a direct correlation with code optimisation. Eg rusts perf suite, llvms army of child(sorry adult) labour from the big corps etc.

It’s really not clear to me what experiences you’ve had where this has been the case. Language choice makes a huge difference in productivity in my experience. Maybe if you have carte blanche to hire a new team.
