And the rest of this email is "wiser-than-thou" bullshit.  Programming
languages ARE tools.  If you enjoy using shitty tools to earn your
living, when superior tools are available, you ARE mentally deficient.
If someone came to me and asked me to rebuild an engine with a hammer
and a screwdriver, I would change jobs.  With sufficient effort, I'm
sure it's possible, but my work would not be enjoyable.

It's not all about blogging, Dan.
