But the more user it will get the more inflexible will become to change. That's a big price to pay for abandoning the nomad life.

Note that, that statement, is not exactly true.

The more users it gets, the more social pressure the community will put on it.

Flexibility is function of design and not coupled with community size.


And it is a good problem to solve: We need to change the language to make it easier evolvable.
A very nice research topic.
(which in a second step then can be feed back into the system, making future evolution easier)
