A lot of devs really don’t want to learn anything but the very most popular languages. A lot of managers don’t even understand that what language they use makes a difference in terms of their product or their productivity—they optimize for whatever stack they can most easily the hire the cheapest devs for. That leads to the market responding much more slowly to newer options, even when they have clear advantages. Smaller startups and indie hackers don’t have the same switching costs though, so you’ll see more of them making a bet on a less popular technology they believe has a productivity edge for their use case.
