You are not necessary wrong but this is also super depressing to me. I have my job because I love technology. There is joy and fun in using modern systems. Good tooling like ide, security tools, linting, Testing Frameworks etc requires modern supported languages. Languages evolve. |

I've been doing this a while, and I've been around the IDE bush, and the editor Bush and so on lots of times.
There are many disadvantages to using things that will never be popular, that are niche, but lack of joy is not one of them.
For me it's not in some shiny new language, or toolset, or whatever. The joy is in what you create, not the tooling. It's in creating solutions that make people's lives better. It's in putting good on the family table. It's in employing others and watch them do the same.
The things you talk about are language agnostic. What doesn't exist, we create.
