Programming languages, much like the jackass in the middle, are tools. Different tools are for different things. The right tool for the job can make your day. The wrong tool can make you question your entire career.

Funny how tools are useful. But a person who is a tool is not.

A tool of a person is a fool who is being used by someone else. They might not be useful to you, but to who ever makes the koolaid they're drinking, they're a very good tool.

Well, when was the last time you looked at a hammer and thought "y'know, you're pretty smart!"

Eh, people misuse terms all the time. It shouldn't change what it's meant to mean.
