How will a team ever know the best suited language, framework or tool to pick if they’ve never tried it out before?

What an absurd question. If the team doesn't have enough experience with at least, say, the top 3 languages, frameworks, and tools, then they shouldn't be making any decisions about what language, framework, or tool (LFT) to use?

And nobody wants to acknowledge that there is actual thinking and analysis and valid reasoning that can be done regarding LFT's that results in weeding out 90%, at least, of the garbage that's out there.

Sadly though, that is the reality. I've worked on enough commercial products over the years which I discovered started off as the corporate equivalent of a bunch of geeks getting together in the basement and deciding they wanted to try some new fangled LFT because some unknown author of some obscure magazine was raving about it.

And the beat goes on... Sigh | :sigh:
