I never said "everything now is stupid and rubbish". I'm not sure at all where you got that nonsense from. It's mainly just JavaScript, and its closely related technologies, that are problematic these days. I don't really consider D, Rust and Go to be all that remarkable. They're not terrible regressions like JavaScript is, but they aren't that much of an improvement over C or C++, for instance. Likewise, NoSQL is merely 1960s-era approaches reused and abused today. Maybe you weren't around to experience the massive boost in productivity that languages like C, C++, Java and Perl brought when they first became available. Tasks that formerly took months now only took days, and tasks that took days could now be accomplished in mere hours. You wouldn't believe the excitement I saw from some developers when they first started using Perl and CPAN, for instance. It's like we were due for that next massive productivity jump between 2007 and 2010 or so, but things went horribly wrong and we ended up in this JavaScript swamp instead.
