Why is there a certain set of developers that think a language that you love is the one that you should work in? I may "love" a language but that doesn't mean I'll be able to get stuff done with it. I learned Python because I wanted to be able to make Django based websites. I learned PHP back when my wife wanted to have a phpbb bulletin board. When I come across something really useful for something I want to do that is developed in Rust, I will learn Rust.

Likewise, why do so many developers think that one's language choice is a completely arbitrary independent variable? When I'm doing development, quite often my language choice is heavily dictated by the platform/environment I'm actually doing development for.
