Yeah. Alternatives to long-established and useful technologies have to meet a high bar before their option pays for their disruption. Things that seem potentially worth it to me: * seL4 * Google's SQL syntax tweak * Rust * GraalVM * systemd * Tree sitter * LSP * CMake * Bazel These all get you a step change improvement in comprehensibility, safety, or something else important. Things that seem like more churn than they're worth: * Noise protocol (relative to TLS) * JMAP (compared to good old IMAP) * Nim/Zig/etc. * Wayland (fait accompli now, but still) * Varlink * Fish shell * YAML/TOML * Sq? * Meson I wish we, as an industry, invested more in improving existing technologies instead of continually abandoning and replacing working solutions.
