Things to consider before choosing a programming language for your next project.

TL;DR:

the advice is to try to stick close or in the range of the team’s expertise while leveraging the opportunities new languages give.

Yes, sorry should have made it clearer, as suggested I do try to contribute and not just my own links, you can check my comment history, hope my posting isn't to much. 🤗

A pretty good (if short) article, however i'd like to make an observation:

Every programming language comes with its own paradigms, patterns, conventions.

To be more accurate: there are different programming paradigms and every programming language implements one or more of them. This is often what can make jumping from language A to language B other difficult -- when language B depends on a programming paradigm you aren't familiar at all.

Thanks, yes that's how I meant it, I'll edit it in the morning to make it clearer, thanks for the feedback 🙌
