Are you? Maybe the worse solution peaks faster, but can be supplanted by a better solution in the future, like how Rust is displacing C/C++ in new projects. The better solution may never be popular yet persist.
- th43o2i4234234 2y agoRust is nowhere near displacing C++. There's typically a "exhaustion" phase with mono-memetism/theories where everyone gets sick and tired of the "one and only way" and it becomes fashionable to try out new things (eg.
