I appreciate the effort that has gone into organising the tech radars, each time. But whether by export group or review panel, I've come to belief that (blindly) following 'best practices' or 'industry standards' based on prospective adoption is moot.<p>Tools, languages and technology take their place <i>after</i> a significant share of people have adopted them, not before. Trying to steer industry towards certain tools and away from others, ignores the irrational choices that belie them, and how resistant we may sometimes be to purported technical fixes.<p>We are creatures of habit, and will break those habits on occasion, but ideally not because of an imbibed fear of losing out---the tools need to be proven in practice, not on promise.
