I'd probably use lisp. Choices... Have a goal and call it done one day. Refuse to do any legacy support upgrades, only bug fixes. No external dependencies. I think what youre talking about is a huge problem, you can't build a technologically advanced civilization if your foundation is built on shifting sand. Unfortunately, we don't yet know how to do it because all this is so new, and because the incentives are the opposite of what you need to make it happen. You tell a guy that when he's done he's fired and he will find a way to never be done. Very few will be excited to move on to something new after bearing their creation.
