What’s frustrating is seeing new communities and languages make unforced errors that a review of prior mistakes should easy uncover. The lack of a unified, coherent build tool in Java was a huge mistake. New languages would be well advised to focus on good tooling right out of the gate, rather than putting it off until later.
