You're making the assumption that I code things that require maintenance from other people, and that I code for a living. I code for fun, and I make small things that other people happen to enjoy, things simple enough that once I get them working the first time, they don't break. When I work on major projects, my partner's the programmer, not me.

Language designers want to create languages that professionals will use. Maintenance is a problem for any professional. You're lucky not to have to deal with that problem but that doesn't mean language designers are mistaken for engaging in attempting to find a solution to that problem just because it doesn't affect you.
