Have you tried Fortran?

C also shows excellent stability and backwards compatibility.

Cobol is also quite stable, but IDK about the quality of open-source tools for it.

The problem of stability is that you are pinned to the moment when the interfaces were defined and committed to, and this moment goes further and further into the past. Quite often this means that you can't use the new things which give advantage to your competitors.
