As someone who works predominantly with PHP and JavaScript, but has spent some time with Java, Ruby and Python - I actually agree with you!

Bob says "I wish PHP had this thing from Java" and Alice says "I wish Java had this thing from PHP". I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.



It makes me really envious of those who went deep down the Lisp path and haven't had to look back. They don't have to spend time keeping up with the latest developments instead of pursuing some other goal, they have it all already.
