I've said this before, and until I said it the first time I thought the oldies who said it were just being curmudgeonly boomer types ... It's all cyclic. One generations hero is the next's villain, and as we all move away from the villain we find new heros, those become villains as old heroes re-invent and we all move zigzag into the future. Just look at what happened with compiled / static vs dynamic / "productive" languages from the 90s to 2030s. It's been less of a roller coaster and more of a pendulum.
