…the optimism of how everything is better because we’re moving away from the decades-old mess of poor memory management with protections that C/C++ can’t enforce, and even improving on models like Garbage Collection (with Automatic Reference Counting and Borrow Checking), strong typing, powerful and accessible high-level languages…
…and the pessimism that actually *using* software feels so much worse nearly every day—especially on the web.
