Thank you A.G. for reminding us that time is relative and "decades ahead" is a silly term.

The Wright Brothers were decades ahead of flight.

Alan Turing was decades ahead of computing.

NASA engineers were decades ahead of space travel.

Homer was decades ahead of Greek epic tales.

The Egyptians were decades ahead of pyramid building.

A typical Slashdotter's mom is decades ahead of their child's enlightenment.

DJB had created multiple cool tech in DNS, email, etc. For example, DNS Curve was way ahead of it's time; only in the last 1.5 years has DoH become popular (source: https://lwn.net/Articles/34052... from 2009). It was implemented in 2010 by OpenDNS but never took off from there.

Bummer that DJB code wasn't free enough to catch on with many developers.
