With respect to programming languages, most software, and most creative works, all states of the lifecycle seem to be bad at some level: 1. It's just an idea/it's just a prototype. 2. It works but it doesn't support everything I want to do. 3. It supports everything but it's not the way I want to solve the problem. 4. I guess I'll have to reinvent the wheel to show them how it's done... The only real terminus to this cycle is when you've actually communicated the thing you want to communicate, which is quite difficult to do in the form of a programming language.
