I had an interview. Among other questions, they asked me why I chose this particular language/development stack and not another one, since the other one is more popular. I replied that the other language is a kind of inconsistent, feels unfinished, unsafe, with a stone-age concurrency model, a very strange dependency management system, and a primitive scheduler. Later, in the feedback, I was told that I was supposedly toxic and not a good fit. Of course, I should have answered, “that language is great, but I prefer another because it is blah-blah-blah better choice for my tasks”, but that would’ve been hypocrisy — it’s not great at all.
