I've sensed for years from colleagues or blog posts etc a drive to go deeper and lower in the stack. I attributed this to the huge amount of front end devs who feel detached from the "real" stuff because of layers of frameworks. Not derisively, I think it's great. Even coworkers will express this to me.
This is what I suspect helped Rust skyrocket in the zeitgeist, too. It's got a lot of modern conveniences but it targets the more difficult areas like embedded, drivers, kernel, or performance critical code. And you can justifiably rewrite things (debatable but whatever).
A way in!
I wonder if this is related?
Could be wrong on all this, of course.
