My general rule is that I don't even think about learning a new technology until at least two years after I first heard about it.
I assume that I hear about new stuff fairly early in their adoption, since I try to keep up with these things, so if it's still a thing two years later, it might have enough staying power to be worth learning. After that it still takes a while for me to get around actually learning the things.
Go and Rust are languages that have been on my todo list for a while now, for example, but I still haven't touched a JS framework because I haven't seen one with staying power yet.
