Those irrational people seem to have code that doesn't require rewrites/refactoring every few years. Switching to an entirely new ecosystem as a primary field? I leave it to the beta-testers, perhaps in 10 years Zig/Rust/Nim will be standardized languages with multiple compilers and big ecosystems supporting them, just like C and polished enough to be as easy as C to write.
