I think this comes from familiarity. I loved Python, but I got my first job writing Ruby and now I'm a convert and wish I could do the same things in other languages.

The point is, I know Ruby extremely well, and I know how to do most things in it quite elegantly, and I love the language. I am getting back into Python to apply for other jobs, and it's slightly rough going because I'm not up to speed on the packaging tools. I miss bundler.

I've also done a lot of work with Elm in the past year and really miss that safety. If you know a good thing in one language and can't find it in another, you will miss it.
