> The more out of date your technology stack is the more you lose out on great libraries and best practices.

Peculiarly, I don't feel this with Common Lisp (30 years old and counting). I think part of that is the fact that CL has been a standard: there are no out of date libraries due to age and drift, only libraries that are not useful for current problems or libraries that have been neglected.

I think that when you focus on technologies that have become stable and build your platform on them, you have a much more solid system than building on shifting technologies.
