Why not learn a stable technology instead?
For example, instead of Crystal, you could try something like Common Lisp or Haskell, both of which are really, really stable.
I would even put Rust into the "stable" category... they value backwards compatibility very highly, while allowing breaking changes to happen in newer "editions" of the language (without breaking code written for previous "editions"). Stable does not necessarily mean old.
- dimgl 5y agoI'm not really interested in Lisp or Haskell. I don't feel like I'll be all that productive with them and there is little to no chance I'll use them professionally. If anything I'd be interested in Rust, but it's a bit too low-level for most of the things that I need.
