One thing I really like is that it's considered mostly done. The community has the wisdom of not always trying to add new features and deprecating old ones. There's no 2.0 planned but that doesn't stop people from doing impressive work like Nx. I don't know about the ecosystem, but the language itself seem like a stable investment.

This also has the benefit that your code is likely to keep working in 10 years.

That's what I meant by "stable investment".
