Thats a large reason for sure! I'd layer in a few more * Largely stable and unchanged language through out its whole existance * Authorship is largely senior engineers so the code you train on is high quality * Relatively low number of abstractions in comparisson to other languages. Meaning there's less ways to do one thing. * Functional Programming style pushes down hidden state, which lowers the complexity when understanding how a slice of a system works, and the likelyhood you introduce a bug
