Ask HN: How often do you swap between languages ?
I was wondering how often people jump between various languages in a day and how it affects productivity.
In my case, I use Perl at work. I then jump to PHP, Python, and Javascript at home for personal projects almost on a daily basis. As an example, I have to google how to compute the length of an array if its :
1. strlen(myString)
2. myString.length()
3. myString.length
NB: I generally use Emacs for writing code in *nix/Mac and Notepad++ if on a Win Box.
