Most of the time when someone adds these fancy languages what happens is that they leave and the ones left are the ones that have to deal with the shit that was produced.

I'm going through this now, having to deal with code nobody wants to touch because it is overly complex, has no documentation, and is in a language no one else knows. Now, whenever i see an effort like this, to bring an exoteric language for absolutely no good reason, i try to kill it as fast as possible.

I don't want to be the victim of this code in the future or have my team bear the cost of maintaining stuff they don't understand.

Best typo ever! Portmanteau of esoteric and exotic :-)
