It's amazing that business would tolerate paying staff to build products on one person's prototype hobby language.

  It's going to be hard to explain to future generations that the demand for computer-speakers was once such that sometimes they could even decide the language in which they spoke to the computer, and that really was a big deal back then because computers couldn't just switch back and forth like they can today.

  We didn't tolerate it for main production projects. But you're missing the vibe at the time: You would get downvoted and argued with if you tried to say that it was one person's hobby language. It was supposed to be a big movement and the next big thing in FE development. People would argue that it was production ready. You can even see a lot of those comments in this thread.
