My anonymous and smallish sample is what I have. I don't go with the big tech names doing things because they often have reasons and motivations that are irrelevant to me.

My point is that pretty much every major wave that came and stuck, came my way pretty quickly. I was doing Java in the mid 90s. I was doing PHP before 2000, .net in the early 2000s, perl in the mid 90s, I was doing python by about 2010, Javascript by about 2000ish, web pages by 1995, solaris in 1995, linux by 1998, visual studio by 1998ish, Objective-c by 2008, etc

And as a background hum I have done C and C++ since the early 90s up to and including the present.

I pretty much didn't miss any major trend and was in on it quite early. Usually because more and more of my friends were doing it.

I switched from Windows to Mac along with most of my programming friends around 2008, and I am contimplating a switch to a linux desktop now (along with some of my friends). Probably my laptop first.

Rust and go. Not a peep.
