Instead, people talk over and over again about designing tools that will "force programmers to think about" various things. As if that kind of paternalism ever worked. I much prefer a focus on productivity and happiness. All else flows from morale.

o rly? Not sure that I agree. What other communities have very large majority of groupthink? Are you saying tooling maturity isn’t critical for scaling adoption? Not sure how to read this declaration.

For me, the difference is between optimizing for happiness vs "forces you to think about" "Forces you to think about" is popular among Very Serious Programmers but doesn't work. Also see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudge_theory … which won a nobel prize this year.

Even medium-sized Ruby projects I worked on in the past adopted tooling like
@codeclimate very early on to reign in some of root causes of issues that critically impacted team scaling. Same for enforcement of minimum code coverage. Do those fall into "happiness" or "groupthink"?

It's why I was drawn to LISP and then to Ruby (pretty much a Lisp) and then back to Lisp (Clojure) and Haskell (and friends).Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

#elixirlang original author Jose Valim comes from the Ruby community. Guess he brought that culture into Elixir.

I’ve been hearing it on Elixir communities, but that might be only a consequence of the fact that many rubyist are trying it out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I dunno, I hear it in Elixir all the time. Mostly from my own mouth, but still.

do you feel like ember's community has been able to achieve a focus like this?
