The concept of "Write once use anywhere" in some programming languages.

Question

in a way do you think this concept make developers and programmers alike feel relaxed in their comfort zone and not wanting to push themselves to learn new technologies.

Answer 1

i think you got it wrong. New technologies are introduced to make things EASIER for us, and write once run anywhere is just a part of it. People learn new languages to improve their knowledge, but also to make codes in an easier way.

Answer 2

well i said we learn new languages to make our tasks easier, and "to improve our knowledge", and a passionate programmer never stops, he/she keeps on learning something new, instead of getting satisfied by learning just one language.

Answer 3

you know, imagine a scenario where you a developer who's been writing Java, goes for an interview where he's faced with Swift

Answer 4

I know, that's what you or I or any other "seasoned" developer would do, but then we can only speak to ourselves
