gollark: No, I mean to judge who wrote some code, it's important to have a decent working knowledge of that language, right?
gollark: There's also an important meta-level point about how when people *complained* about palaiologos's choice, they did not decide to actually discuss the merits of it with the community and have a productive discussion but just insist they were right and run a nonsensical vote.
gollark: Python is very simple and most people can sort of write it ish.
gollark: But if we allowed *any* language, you'd somewhat lock people out if they did not know *one* of them.
gollark: Yes it is. If we used different languages it would probably not work very well.
