> 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. 


Thanks,

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.
