[OSGeo-Discuss] Best Language for OSGEo TEch

[Allan Doyle]

I would take the position that there is room for any project. When  
you're dealing with libraries, then language is more important. When  
you're dealing with inter-process interfaces like WMS, etc. then  
language is irrelevant.

Also, if everything converges to one code base of building blocks,  
that might imply that the blocks will become stronger due to more  
people paying attention to less code. On the other hand, it reduces  
the biodiversity and increases pressure to add features.

I agree with Tyler's quicker answer. There is no right answer...
