I am not sure if the existing developers or older devs will be 
hit by it, because they are used to working around things and 
have a good model of the language and how it has evolved over 
time. They already have patience… (especially those that learned 
programming in the 80s and 90s, as they are used to weird things 
in the programming environment…)

But making it harder for newbies, is not a good. There is much 
less reason to be patient when other options offers you a 
smoother ride.

My experience from teaching a bit programming to students tells 
me that there is a big difference between those that learn 
programming today, and those that learned it 30 years ago. Making 
a dev environment tailored to the latter group is not sustainable…
