"Creativity loves constraint" is a great quote. I've heard it applied to the world of arts (how restrictive forms of poetry like, say, sonnets, inspire more originality from their authors than no-rules free verse). But maybe having too much freedom in a coding environment is also a recipe for developer paralysis.

I suspect the way forward will be found in languages like Rust that have a more constrained form of OO. But it will be fun to see. Thanks for reading!
