so, it's the meme of the day that self custody and don't trust, verify are "paranoid"

and some think my uncommon perspective on programming languages is just an expression of my personality and not something actually based in reality

there is a phenomenon in VC capitalism, where as startups launch, and reach a stage of IPO or other market equity issuance, where the "new thing" pattern starts to take hold and it tends to take a few years to taper off as people realise it was just some dumbass VC shit once again, and the cult generator types regroup and fixate on some new pump targets

it's actually a deep phenomenon, multiple ways in which you can see incentives appearing for people to pump the bags of some software project even though 90% of them are bullshit, and really, just a pump and dump scheme with a couple extra starting steps

as i see it, real world deployments, with the lindy... so, count the number of running-years of a software project, go look at the tooling that was used to build it

you will find that most of it is G++ (gnu c++) and Golang

these hype cycles over rust and erlang and nodejs etc are all fiat inflation effects, they are terrible ways to evaluate the wisdom of picking a toolchain to build something with

some of it also has to do with a further, third degree effect where the pump on a language leads to a glut of programmers and a lower than market rate for development costs

you could probably write a whole paper on the effect on the market, backed up by a shitload of financial history and tech memes and company life cycles

ideals and reality are rarely even vaguely related... don't make your decision about what programming language to use for a project based on cheap labor or temporary popularity because that has not worked out for a lot of players in history

C# for example... fringe, and still fringe, 'twill never be nought but a dumbass idea adding some kooky OOP variant to C

python: will always be 10x slower than any binary language, seriously, pull the middle one about the cost benefit analysis of the watts per data center if i pick python
