Coming out of python land and spending a bit of time working in Emacs Lisp was kind of a breath of fresh air. Working with the org roam library, I’d see a lot of complaints about how it hasn’t been updated in two years. This was of course, a feature and not a bug. I really did feel a prevailing sense of calm that libraries would not drop out from under me, that I was just running basically all my own code or borrowed code, and if it works, it would continue to work. This contrasted wonderfully with my experiments with Gatsby and Node, which I foolishly deployed to client websites not knowing that as a result I would be doomed to years of deployments breaking and nightmare library updates. Of course, the trade off here is that with the exception of a few wonderful libraries like org-roam, basically everything, my own code included, shipped basically broken out of the box
