Doesn't the author end by saying Swift, Rust and Go are "tomorrow's languages"?

Yet he gives absolutely no justification for why those are "tomorrows languages". You don't use third party libraries or frameworks in any of those languages?

Personally I design my Django code to be as simple as possible. I use third party libraries, and don't see too many of the problems he talks about.

Probably because the author doesn't use them and thus has no idea of what their problems are, so they seem "perfect" from a distance.
That's the issue: he calls them tomorrow's languages, implying that they need to change ("can you marry modern thinking, build a community [...]) before getting there, or being "today's languages".

So far, I still haven't seen anything better than Rails to solve yesterday's (and today's) problems.
