Here are some of the great things (IMO) from the Internet in this decade: https://href.cool/2010s

It would be cool to see a similar list of promising/essential software. I would personally list Julia, Elm and Redis, for instance. But I could see people putting Kubernetes or Mastodon. Breaker Browser, SSB, Webmentions are already on my list.

Go and Rust (even though Go technically appeared in 2009, but it reached 1.0 in the 2010s).

Open hardware also had a good going. Most visibly Raspberry Pi and all its clones, but also RISC-V for example. POWER was also open-sourced in this decade if I'm not mistaken.

Ahh, good points. I do have the ESP8266 in my list - I considered the RPi Zero, but I felt it was too difficult to get a hold of at its proper price.

This list makes me sad that I missed out on so many of these weird corners of the internet over the last 10 years, and fills me with a weird nostalgia for a time that may not have even existed.

I hope the 2020s bring more of this weird.
