I went through a similar experience in Haskell. It is worth going through until you get to the point where it is no longer a wrestling match, because then you are just as productive but any code you write is checked much more thoroughly than in a more weakly typed language.

I guess just wait until it stabilises then.
Which is when? 1.15? 1.50? 2.0?
What was the point of that whole "1.0" thing?
This is a rhetorical question, as there's no way you've been around here so long without knowing what it is. For everyone else, however, the notion is that code written for 1.0 will continue to work for additional 1.x releases. It says nothing about iterating on not-yet-baked features--that's what nightly is for, and as they become baked they become part of 1.x releases. They're not breaking backwards compatibility; the major version remains the major version.
