I'm skeptical of declaring what stoicism ought to be applied to. It seems like a generic framework that works at the level of perception rather than a finite whitelist of approved things.

I would consider changing organizations to be an immense cost. It would be perfectly reasonable to apply stoic principles to make peace with language choice. Many of the costs associated from using a tool one believes is inferior are related to one's own emotional reaction to it. If you can conquer that, then you've made yourself a lot more flexible.

I can't imagine how anyone could claim that changing organizations is something that's easy. :-/

Thanks for your comment on charity. I admit that I came on a bit strong after rereading my comment. I sometimes get frustrated quite a bit with your commentary on Go, and I let it get the best of me. Sorry about that.
