That rift has existed for a long time.
There are some programmers who don't really care what tools they use as long as they feel productive. They shy away from things like types because it feels like it slows them down.
Then there are programmers who care a lot about tools because it feels like the wrong tools hold them back and cause undue stress in the long-term.
Hot take: The first type are less mature programmers :)
