As I get older and crankier I find simplicity and stability become a lot more interesting than reinventing the same wheels over and over again.
This is probably why I’ve come to appreciate Rich Hickey’s talks more and more as years go by.
I think Clojure is a good fit when it comes to stability as per their own development guidelines [1]:
The Clojure development team values a measured and thoughtful approach to language evolution with a strong emphasis on maintaining backward compatibility.
