@kiilas I'm also not hating on modern languages, because I use quite a few (rust, idris, haskell if you consider that to be modern)

I'm have a problem with something very similar: "progress" which is actually just "the same things as before, but without learning any of the lessons we learnt from the things before"

(and also that most modern software engineering doesn't focus on those good things: doing what's expected well and without bugs)
