> There's too much ecosystem churn, and new language features are deployed too often.
That kinda feels like saying Linux is too crazy because new apps get made for Linux frequently.
You can use the same part of the language tomorrow that you used today. Nothing is changing out from under you. If you're afraid of libraries, don't use them. You'd have the same problem in any ecosystem that is new, no?

Apps are okay, but other parts of userland that roll out breaking changes on a regular basis are definitely a problem [1] [2] [3]. Even if they aren't technically part of the kernel, they are usually used with it to provide a complete working system, and they break stuff all the time.
