Yeah! And the whole thing about fourth generation languages fits in there too:

Using a modern high productivity like Python, Ruby, or Javascript will enable faster iteration and software growth.

Note: sometimes Rust or another lower level language will be more productive. Tool choice is hard and contextual.



I always understood it more like using existing libraries when they exists. So platforms with a huge choice of libraries with good support is the rational decision (which may be python, jvm ecosystem or js)


Higher productivity tools just shift the definition of what is complex.


Well sure, but that leaves behind a lot of opportunities for people who can’t or won’t pursue the complex cases.
