This is a part of the problem. "The right tool for the job" has become an end in itself, rather than a means to an end. People spend so much time trying to develop more than a superficial understanding of a vast array of languages and frameworks, simply so they can say they are using the "right" tool for the job (perhaps so their future "show HN" post can be sexy). The right tool should always be understood as successfully executing your project as the goal. Sometimes the right tool is simply the one that you or your team has expertise with, or has a deep body of experience built up on StackOverflow. The "right" tool in absolute terms is completely meaningless. Often times it seems like people forget this.
