I think no one is going to necessarily disagree with what you’re saying, but I’d also ask what is the point? It’s almost tautological. Of course this is the case, so does that mean new things shouldn’t be made because it’s been pre-decided it would be a waste? I can’t say I agree with that, even though I agree with the premise that all PLs suck. Maybe this stuff is just hard, and also maybe part of that is because as humans we’re pretty limited. So I think we just have to deal with it and try. I don’t love front end stuff, for example, and it kind of annoys me at times that everything gets reinvented over and over, to great fanfare no less. However at the end of the day, I realize it’s because we’re limited and one of those limitations is not being smart enough to do everything right the first time. That makes sense and isn’t like a knock on people, just the truth. And these new frameworks and paradigms that keep getting made indicate to me that things are reaching some stability, but aren’t there yet. Like, a lot of native stuff has been literally miles ahead for years, which is why you don’t really see a ton of innovation in that spaces, aside from adding new frameworks to support new sensors. But you still see stuff getting made to support more privacy aware stuff, which is a shame because it could have been that way from the beginning. Anyway, I think it’s fine for both to be true: PLs suck because tech is hard and people are limited, and we keep trying new stuff because it’s just both there yet.
