I feel I'm still relatively new (started in the past 4 years) and I have
quite some time left before I hit 30 years of age.

I don't specifically feel the way you describe, nor do I think I've ever
really felt like that in the previous nearly 4 years of hacking. Then
again, I'm not interested in testing frameworks, so I don't feel much at
all about which test frameworks we use.

Could you point me to one occasion I have 'always' clamored for this, or
any of "those young-uns" in the community? I may not be a huge fan of C,
but rewriting PostgreSQL in [other language] is not on the list of things
I'm clamoring for. I may have given off-hand mentions that [other language]
would've helped in certain cases, sure, but I'd hardly call that clamoring.

Kind regards,
