Language features and code properties

Link –

Josh Justice gives some solid advice on how to pick the right language for your next projects.

So to ask the question “should I use an OO or FP language (or style)” is to skip several steps. I think a better series of questions are: First, what properties would be beneficial for your application to have: concurrency? Immutability? Encapsulation? There are a lot of things you won’t know about your application at first, but you can at least know if it will be a backend app, JavaScript browser app, or native mobile app; if it will be CPU-bound or IO-bound; and if it will process data inputted by humans or automatically generated by machines. All of those factors can influence which properties you need.

Once that’s decided, the next question is, in a given language, are those properties guaranteed, easy, difficult, or not realistically achievable?
