What does modern mean in this context?

[rubiquity]

It’s being written in Rust in the year 2021.

That is a very weak definition of "modern"

I find that the word “modern” is usually meaningless marketing filler.

[Rexxar]

That's the original and etymological definition of the word. We are used to progress so we see modern thing as better but modern things are just new or trendy not necessary better. Programming everything in javascript is quite modern but is it a progress ? We will see in the long run.

from this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25742187 it might mean that it is not a unix/posix style OS, but exploring new ideas.

imo, "modern" would mean it removes or replaces features and characteristics which were exclusive to or popular in a previous time period but are not essential or can be replaced with "modern" alternatives.
