The problem is not the language being stable or mature. I'm sure Ruby has been around since 1995, Lisp existed even before my parents.
With Lisp, you can create a "Hello World" program in variety of multiple ways. Sure you can refactor it, starting with how to print the letter "H", throw UTF-16 support there as well. At the end of the day, you wasted precious time and resources printing "Hello World".
Doing things in variety does not mean value.
Doing it right the first time means value, now imagine if it's a team.
