In a way, this seems similar to the "web framework of the month" that everyone wrestled with for a while. There's a new tool! You're obsolete if you don't switch now!!!!!
Meanwhile, some of us were over here, building embedded systems with C and C++. The big switch was from Green Hills or VxWorks to embedded Linux. The time scale was more "OS of the decade". There's hype and fads, and there's stuff that lasts.
Yes, exactly, it's exactly like the peak js framework of the month of the early 2010s, or the coin of the month in the late 2010s... I guess that's just part of the fad dynamic, you get microfads within the macrofad...
I'm not opposed to new things, but I guess I want incremental improvement on the old thing, and more on the timescale of years than weeks.
