Overperformance is dangerous in the workplace.That's a real risk of using high-productivity tools (e.g. functional programming languages). You're introducing gunpowder to horse-riding swordsmen. Usually, they'll lynch you for witchcraft. "Clojure doesn't have the latest despondency infarction frameworks! Burn it! It's a witch!" I think the trick is to fail up into a better company (or team, if your firm isn't one of those where a bad start renders you immobile) when that happens. Hard to tell how good a company is before you join, though.
