Programming Language Stereotypes
summary
Argues that language stereotypes are wrong and backs it with examples: Ruby is not Rails and companies like Netflix, Hulu and Zendesk use Ruby; PHP still powers ~70% of the web and supports frameworks and microservices; Java runs critical systems (NASA, avionics); Python powers playful and production tools (Spotify’s “Boil the Frog”, donation scripts); Perl 6 relaunched after dormancy; Linux appears in ATMs and flight entertainment. Recommends cross‑pollination of communities and dropping open‑source vs enterprise binaries.
