Version-skipping Memes

The conference room is completely empty except for the world's loneliest table. Turns out when you're looking for universally beloved tech, you get PHP 6 (which never actually shipped), IPv5 (a failed experimental protocol that was skipped entirely), and Windows 9 (which Microsoft yeeted straight into the void). The joke writes itself: these "attendees" are either vaporware, skipped versions, or technologies so cursed they never saw the light of day. They can't be hated if they don't exist. *taps forehead* Meanwhile, every other technology is out there getting roasted daily on Twitter. JavaScript? Too many frameworks. Python? Slow as molasses. Rust? The evangelists won't shut up. But these three? Pure, untarnished, because they never had the chance to disappoint anyone.
