Your "move fast, break things" speed must be inversely proportional to the penetration of the language: penetration into books, academia, courses, hardware, firmware, software, software that depends on other software, and so on. Soon I will be able to let go to Python 2.7, but not just yet. My industry is the precise opposite of "move fast, break things" because here the "things" happens to be what are called humans and their "break" scenario involves shrieking as their lungs are burned to leather, and no amount of Jolt soda poured into the floating holographic head of Mark Zuckerberg will suffice. If you have a piddly language you and five people circulate on Usenet, go for it. Break it twice a day. But once your language gets serious, be ready for inertia. It's a property of mass.
