YES, THE MAJORITY OF LANGUAGE MIGRATIONS ARE DRIVEN BY HYPE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A recent survey showed that over 71% of language migrations are driven by industry hype rather than proven results, with only half of developers finding their migrations worthwhile. While AI tools are making migrations easier and are used by 87% of developers, this can lead to unnecessary revisions and technical debt. Instead, it's better to pilot small-scale migrations, review case studies, and focus on clear metrics to avoid regret.
