Not my experience in the JVM-related community, and to an extent the
Python community, at least in the UK. Head on collisions create debate,
and get you remembered. The debate generally leads to change, even if
not the change initially envisaged. At least the status quo gets
perturbed.

Just dealing with the fringes and solving their problems rarely get
serious traction. cf. Golo, Gosu, Fantom, Crystal, Pony, all of which
solve definite problems but none of which have any serious traction to
move programming on.
