> The gap between what used to be boring and not narrowed a lot. Of course there's still new non-boring tech, but somehow it all feels a bit less paradigm changing to me. What about new tech that's boring by design? To me, that kind of feels why Go succeeded: it didn't attempt to solve all of the world's problems, merely become a relatively simple language that one can pick up and be productive in reasonably quickly, while also having a decent amount of batteries included. Over the years, there have been relatively few major changes (generics come to mind, but those don't really break much old code at all) and it's remained somewhat stable/boring throughout the years.
