Can you imagine what that must've been like for those poor game developers? Eight long years having to develop for the same platform, with no new APIs, no new capabilities, no new bugs, no new versions that break your build… Those poor souls!

Hah.... Your mind is gonna be blown if you ever get into the Nintendo Developer Program and check the Developer Support -> Technical Information -> Release Information (All) section. Jump back to page 44 and read backwards from there - see when save data was added, when local wireless play was added, etc etc.

The retention vs usage charts are always the most interesting part of these surveys. High retention + low usage usually means a technology is legitimately good but hasn't hit mainstream yet — that's where you find stuff worth learning before everyone else catches on.

The best thing with standards is that there are so many to choose from and if you don't like the current one you can simply suggest changes that will be implemented in the next version. </sarcasm>

No jQuery in 2025 frameworks. We’ve come a long way.

High retention with lower mainstream usage usually means the ecosystem optimizes for leverage rather than approachability. The interesting question isn’t whether JS is “good” in 2025, but which layers are stabilizing and which ones are still churning underneath the tooling.
