> Why are folks so insistent on monolingual systems? This was/is one of the original selling points and philosophies of Rails - a monolingual system should mean less context switching, less glue code for things to talk to each other, fewer bugs and mistakes stemming from uniformity of language, and better "flow" to the programming.

No idea at all why it's so obsessive :), if a tool offers more comfort than another, well I'll choose the first one. Maybe because I am aging (not sure yet if it's a symptom of a disease or some form of wisdom :). The idea is to not let earlier choices fossilize but keep looking on better alternatives as time passes by.
