Sometimes it feels that I'm being left behind since I don't use Rust yet. Better get crackin'

I know you are likely saying this in jest but I made this comment a couple years ago:

> Also that the HN bubble will always make readers feel behind when in reality 90% of the industry hasn’t even begun to catch-up. I felt behind with K8S in 2016, for example, not realizing we were just seeing the wave form when I felt like it was cresting. [0]

That being said I do have a goal of learning more Rust in 2022 :) I don't care for all the macro usage so I want to learn more about it so it feels less magical to me.

Don't feel too bad. I've been wrong plenty of times before, but my prediction is that the Rust hype will fizzle out outside of Hacker News. There's just a lot of use cases that simply don't need its guarantees, and I think developers sticking square pegs into round holes will cause some dissatisfaction in the future.

When you're done with Rust it'll be time to switch to working on Nix. Of course, if you're smart, you'll figure out a way to tackle both at once.

That's how I felt in 2015. 7 years later, i still haven't learnt Rust and i don't see companies around here using Rust anyway

You're not being left behind unless you're in the non-GC language space.
