Coding Languages

In my other blog I always tried to address the issue of which programming language is best for bioinformatics. To be bluntly honest, I think most of my assessments were BS for the lack of a better term. How can I suggest which language is best which out trying out all on my own. Which brings me to this Steve Yegge throwback post talking about several different coding languages and why he likes/dislikes them. Why should you/I trust Steve? Well at the time of this post, he claimed to know about 30-40 languages, he maintains a very popular popular blog and he works for google. Your call.
