but the point is, wouldn't having all the brushes you need and all the colors/paints you need ... aid you create more art ... or just make your life better in anyway
no body said PHP or Java are unusuable, the argument is usually that using Groovy, Perl or Ruby, just make working more interesting fun and rewarding, just like having more brushes and colors as you paint
a great painter can create amazing art with just one color
i would argue that an even greater painter can create even more mindblowing art with thousands of colors
i am saying this because many people argue that the sign of a good programmer is one that can write any program using even the most primitive languages
but its still equally impressive to create a program using many differnt design patterns, and complex programming language features ... got me ... it takes a lot of brains to wrap your mind around those advanced feature and use them, and remember to use them
whats the benefit? it depends, but if it only serves boosting the programmer moral and motivate him to create more useful programs then this should be enough for more software vendors who care about hiring motivated employees
