The parent comment got downvoted, but I have definitely experienced this "too much power" issue at work in other languages. E.g. one programmer on the team chooses to use powerful abstractions, but then other folks have trouble modifying the code. Usually we give the respect that is due and ask for a simpler rewrite. When the abstractions or tools are powerful and also simpler, and we can all pick them up and use them, that's the happiest outcome.
- anentropic 7y ago> one programmer on the team chooses to use powerful abstractions, but then other folks have trouble modifying the code doesn't this kind of mean they were bad abstractions though? (am guilty of this myself of course...)
