  • Is there a language that anyone would say really does fare well for continued development or is it just that few people enjoy maintaining code? I’ve maintained some pretty old Go programs I wrote and didn’t mind it at all. I’ve inherited some brand new ones and wanted to rage quit immediately. I’ve also hated my own code too, so it’s not just whether or not I wrote it.

    I have found maintainability is vastly more about the abstractions and architecture (modules and cohesive design etc) chosen than it is about the language.

    I think it was big for easy local dev setups in a VM. But I think docker has pretty much taken over a lot of those use cases since a build can happen in a container pretty trivially across platforms these days. Plus be ready to deploy with the same tools, which Vagrant didn’t cover.
