Actually quite an interesting topic, but I fear that this mailing
list's margins will be too narrow to scribble it down (IOW: we are
moving dangerously off-topic).

Where do we navigate the sea between "strict, but everyone understands
at a glance" and "permissive, but the land splinters into different
subcultures incapable of working together"?

With Lisp (in the broad sense), all is possible.

Something for computer language sociologists to ponder.

Again, personally, I'd tend towards diversity, but I'm aware of the
downsides.

Cheers
