it's just kind of obvious from looking at the distribution of these kinds of posts. lots of people posting blogs about why they use x and y new technology with these objectively good reasons to do so, and then two years later everyone jumps on another pet project hype train.

it seems like these reasons to do something mysteriously only stay valid for the short period of time in which a technology has some kind of hype status and quickly fades when people realize that it's actually not that much improvement in practice and the hassles (training devs in new language, worse language ecosystem etc.) aren't actually worth it.

I'd be interested to see follow-up posts by these companies later. As an example, my former employer started using Rust in 2017 and is still happily and productively using it today, but they only put out a blog post when they started, and they haven't talked about it since.
