This. A language that doesn't adapt (accumulate shitpile of baggage from other languages over changing times) will be a dead language eventually.
English will always have my respect for being open/inclusive and adaptive.
Interesting fact: If you are looking for a spoken language with the cleanest/composable grammar - it's Sanskrit. The panini grammar is actually like a programming language where sentences are just compositions of lower level similar units.
But like I said it's practically dead (not used as a spoken language). But interestingly used as a proxy language for translation and other nlp tasks due to it's clean grammar :)
