Erann Gat - How I lost my faith (very long)

...I can't really go into many specifics about what happened at Google because of confidentiality, but the upshot was this: I saw, pretty much for the first time in my life, people being as productive and more in other languages as I was in Lisp. What's more, once I got knocked off my high horse (they had to knock me more than once -- if anyone from Google is reading this, I'm sorry) and actually bothered to really study some of these other languges I found *myself* suddenly becoming more productive in other languages than I was in Lisp. For example, my language of choice for doing Web development now is Python.
