summary

Explores what a programming language designed specifically for free/open-source projects would prioritize and sacrifice compared with languages aimed at large corporate teams. Considers values to maximize (e.g., community-driven workflows, contribution barriers, long-term maintainability) and concrete trade-offs that would shape everyday developer ergonomics and language features.
