FWIW, Python hit pretty big success with a different approach: Appeal to 
people's innate desire for instant gratification. By the time they 
discover the downsides, they're already knee-deep. (Obviously I'm not 
suggesting this was intentional, just seems to be the way it played out.)

I'm not making any suggestions or drawing conclusions from that, I just 
think it's relevant and worth being aware of.
