I'm not wedded to my favorite language. Right tool for the job and all that..

Still, when given the choice I prefer to work in a language that's easy and clear, rather than one that's painful and convoluted.

Sure, I might be able to do the same in another language, but I'm reminded of Alan Perlis' advice to "Beware of the Turing tar-pit in which everything is possible but nothing of interest is easy."
