With that attitude how would the presently accepted languages/frameworks have come about?

Probably slower and with more respect for existing tech.

But hey, now we have npm, so who cares anymore? :-)

Most languages are much older than we think. But early adoption is a key to geting to that point of when to "trust it". D isn't that much younger than C and its variants, and older than C#. But it never quite got that adoption to really push development to the point of C#

Disrespect is part of progress, respectful humans are liable to blindness of flaws. Just as part of youthful creativity is disregard for what has come before.
