I killed projects in Clojure when I took over the company. Then again, I killed projects in Scala, and Python, not only including but starting with the ones I had spent more than a year building. About ten projects were killed.

My cut-off criteria at the time were: are they bringing revenue and what technical risk do they open us to (hiring, training, debt, etc.)...

As hinted, the first one I killed was in Python, and I had written about 70% of the codebase.




What did you replace it with?


Python, but the whole stack was "streamlined".
