If we'd all start programming in stable, mature languages instead of letting peer pressure goad us into using betaware and worse, work would be a lot simpler.

It would also encourage organizations large and small to start releasing complete, polished products instead of the "move fast and break things" crap that has infected the industry.

Imagine if car makers worked the same way.

Your "stable and mature" languages were the crazy research projects of old. No one is forcing you to do anything, but let us not forget the nature of our "mature" technologies and the process by which they form.

By that logic, programs written in C are the most polished. Yeah, that checks out. /s
