The Right Tool

The Right Tool is an interesting site that allows developers to rank how well a given statement applies to various programming languages. When I mentioned this to a colleague, he recommended Peter Van Roy's Programming Paradigms for Dummies: What Every Programmer Should Know. I haven't had time to read it yet, but from the abstract it seems to be about choosing concepts that are best suited for a given problem, and then choosing a programming language that best supports those concepts.
