       Are there any particular programming languages, technologies, or platforms you have identified strongly with and defended them to death?I admit having fought several battles against naysayers who haven't understood the charm of Python or that every application benefits from putting it into a container. Let alone arguing with people who dared to declare PHP dead.One remarkable step of becoming a professional is to understand how useless this is. We should solve problems, not pick fights.

       @nikoheikkila reflecting myself for a while, and found that it's not programming language, but tool.I use Vim and can be a Vim evangelist. If any category of app (browser, git gui, email client) has option that provides Vim-like keybinding, I choose that one, despite other drawbacks.I dont defend to death though. I know that Emacs-y keybinding helps in any situation (e.g. <C-N> <C-P>), and I am open if one prefer Emacs over Vim.
