In other contexts they use word 'post-modern' and after 'post-modern' there is 'contemporary'.
A lot of people are getting really hung up on this. "Modern Rust" is just current Rust. Once Rust moves on, that will be modern Rust and what we once called modern will no longer be modern. Like all things. You might as well get upset that somebody said something will happen "tomorrow" because in 24 hours it won't be "tomorrow" anymore.
i didn’t mean rust. i meant any of these modern technology articles
