In this talk, we want to talk about...
Why in Gosling's Name would I want to do this?
What languages/tools could I use to do this?
How could I do this without getting fired?
Polytechnical
polyglot: multiple languages
polypraeclusio: multiple storages
polycrepido: multiple platforms (foundations)
When you are polytechnical...
... you see the value in different technologies
... you don't believe in "just one" anything
... or in "one size fits all" solutions
... you embrace the idea of mixing-and-matching
... you find yourself identifying with Karl Marx:
"From each technology, according to its abilities, to each project, according to its needs"
Speaking multiple languages is fun!
... and powerful
... and enlightening
... and fun!
