So why are we suffering these issues and what can be done to dispose of these rifts we keep making for
ourselves while continuing to embrace technology developments? The issues here are not about how
such technologies interact, or about the functionality they provide, but about how we develop for them.
Think about that for a second. If humans, like technology, needed to interact with one another, we
would use an agreed form of communication; written English in the case of this book. If we were to seek
employment in a country whose entire population didn ??™ t speak our language, we are sure this would
hinder our progress very much, as it would be hard enough to even convey that we were seeking
employment, let alone be capable of performing many of the available work positions on offer. Yet, in
respect of many programming languages and technologies available, they often communicate very well
with each other using processes of their own, but the way in which we interact with them can be
very diverse.

When new languages are created, the syntax they support is often chosen to reflect the flavor of
programmer the language is likely to attract, the features the language provides, the structure of the
compiler, and the general taste of the language ??™ s author, to name a few.
