FWIW - this is an argument against creating any new languages. "Just use what's there, or X or Y if you don't like it". We'd all still be writing assembly or C if this advice were followed.

If people didn't tinker and experiment and introduce their ideas into the wild, we would basically never make progress.

A completely valid point. Thanks for sharing.

I suspect there's a time and place to use new experiments. Production isn't usually it.

Someone’s gotta be the first to go to prod. That makes it an experiment by definition.
