   @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo From what I've heard, it's mostly due to most web companies prioritizing growth, and thus features, over long-term stability. :neofox_drowsy:
   
   Getting nervous that this is the industry that I'll soon be in as a JS beginner, but fuck it. If anything happens, I'll become a Rustacean instead.

     @radmin@limepeeps.perchinup.top I don't understand why the only valuable options for aspiring young developers nowadays seems to be either JS or Rust.
     
     What's wrong with good old C or PHP?

     @SuperDicq @radmin tbh the "trendy" languages seem to always br just whatever some corporate overlords decided would be good, C# is used a fair bit from what I've seen, but is it because dotnet is any good, or because Microsoft got their greasy hands all over the education system to ONLY teach their shit, and thus it's just cheaper for companies to stick to dotnet instead of using better tools and languages?
     
     Aalso a couple years ago Python and Ruby used to be all the rage, these days Ruby is almost exclussively old stuff that wasn't ported to something else, and Python is headed that way as well
