I never said I wasn't. I'm interested in more than one thing, and so it makes me sad to see that the cutting-edge stuff I'm interested in is implemented in a variety of languages and frameworks (typically for no better reason than that particular researcher uses that particular framework), which means I either need to invest a huge amount of time and effort into becoming a polyglot or abandon any more in depth understanding than the paper.
- argonaut 10y agoI agree with you; your original comment was talking about beginners specifically, though. That being said, it's the natural state of any field moving fast. Web development has even worse fragmentation. Mobile development has about the same amount of fragmentation. There are a dozen distributed computing frameworks (Hadoop? A dozen things on top of Hadoop? Spark? Mesos? Kubernetes?).
