- RT: @michaelg I saw a vision of the apocalypse today, and it's called code supernova- collapsing under the weight of exponential code growth #
- A class example of an hopelessly one sided extreme argument. The Duct Tape Programmer http://ff.im/-8CO2P #
- Pragmatic programmers should not be re-termed duct tape programmers http://bit.ly/4mVygB #
- @debasishg From a manager's hat, I think it is a very inconvenient combination for many many reasons. in reply to debasishg #
- @debasishg Managing diversity in design, structure, agility, brevity and linguistics(syntax). Size> 10, skillset management would be v tough in reply to debasishg #
- @debasishg Its only a rare breed of programmers who can satisfy the demands of such a polyglottish team n training them would be very hard in reply to debasishg #
- RT @codemonkeyism New blog post: "How your application becomes enterprisy" http://retwt.me/eYKn – Please retweet
# - Yipee! after consulting from home for many many months – got myself an office. Move in tomorrow. #
- Working from home is extremely convenient from a personal perspective. But it just doesn't allow the context switch to happen properly. #
- @frednecksec could be .. though I think every one of us isn't comfortable with the same dog food and home office didn't work for me. in reply to frednecksec #
- @ngkx I meant the context switch between having a relaxed and focused attitude – thats the tough one. in reply to ngkx #
- @debasishg only partially – eg. running Python + Ruby together won't be so difficult or perhaps Java + Scala in reply to debasishg #
- @debasishg .. by reusing JS libraries as much as possible and minimising actual JS programming (though I've generally avoided the GWT route) in reply to debasishg #
- @debasishg you make a valid point .. the question to be asked is – Will polyglottism find mass acceptance in for enterprisey programming ? in reply to debasishg #
- @vdichev yep .. i guess each one of us finds out what works for us. in reply to vdichev #
- LOL! "The internet is the reference architecture for ReST" is like "a mountain is a reference architecture for a pyramid" http://is.gd/3Dl33 #
- @debasishg Fair. To come back to your original point .. I think the toolsets to do the same are just starting to appear n waiting 4 adoption in reply to debasishg #
- @debasishg .. re: last tweet, I mean jruby is just getting ready now n scala has only just started to break out of mindshare into mktshare in reply to debasishg #

- @bosky101 Bhaskarji .. why keep it on the same day as the very first Pycon India ? in reply to bosky101 #
- @bosky101 Its kind of difficult to be inside a conference and on IRC at the same time Anyways have no choice but to give this a pass
in reply to bosky101 # - @psnively @vdichev Every programmer & project should use no more languages than those they can afford to learn & use fluently re:polyglotism in reply to psnively #
- @psnively @vdichev – he he .. polyglotism exists so that each language can cover the other language's deficiencies #just_a_joke in reply to psnively #
- RT @dalmaer Microsoft scared of security of plugins. Uninstall silverlight now! http://bit.ly/CrqSj #doublestandards #
- Forming a hypothesis that polyglotism in specific cases would be quite useful. However it should be argued for in economic & not tech terms. #
