- I can have a prototype running in a matter of minutes
- I have access to a vast library of modules doing everything I need (which helps the former)
- I write quick and efficient code
Do I really care about what other people think about the languages and tools I use? No.
However, I do care about efficiency and results
And, uh, working with a language that has been out for tens of years makes me believe my time investment is safer than with the fad-du-jour JS framework/library/whatever.
BTW, Maybe buying a home in Detroit (especially now that it's officially bankrupt and will hopefully be able to break out of the unions commitments) would be a good business move? That's a cheap place to bootstrap a business for sure.
