- Uv for Python

- Nix

- Performant Virtualization

- Ghostty

- DuckDB and, in general, performant OLAP

Don't get me wrong as I do feel the core of your thesis is correct. Emacs is my editor and I just finished writing a nicely recursive set of gMake for cloud a pipeline. Most of my core software tools haven't changed appreciably since the mid 2000s--right around the time git came out.

edit: I had no idea Nix was so old. I guess it just feels very "new" in my zeitgeist.
