In the software development community few topics are debated as hotly as the choice of programming language. In this talk we?ll explore the potential impact of language choice on software quality ? if there is any impact at all. Is it true that that skill level of the programmer matters more than the language used? Is making languages easier to use lowering quality because they are enabling lesser skilled developers to build software? What if we compare developers of equal skill level? How does language choice affect quality in that case? We will explore these questions and more.
