I just want to have one stack and master it.

C/Linux isn't going anywhere in our lifetimes. If you want one stack, that's it.

For anything else, yes the layers of abstraction will continue to accumulate.

It feels impossible to switch into that though.

People really pigeon hole you into whatever you already did.

The judo move for that is to use that tendency for your benefit.

Starting doing what you want to do now, on your own.

That's how I moved from physics to python and django. It's how I moved from python and django to rust.
