Never heard, "man react is great!" It's always, "we can hire more easily".

I can tell you I said "man react is great!" quite a few times 10 years ago when I tried it for the first time, after years of jQuery, backbone.js and Angular 1. Nowadays I still think it's great, but there is obviously no surprise and novelty about it being great since I use it every day. Like I'm sure you think toilets are a great thing but when was the last time you said "man toilets are great!"?
> "we can hire more easily".
Is this the synonym for cheaper workforce? You always get decent people if you pay enough.
I don't think so. I mean, if your code is Javascript you have 1000 applicants. If your code is Nim, you have maybe 10? That's how the beancounters think about it based on conversations I've had.
So to please the beancounters you need to sell a technical decision so that it's technical merits massively outweigh those 1000 candidates.
