Thank you for elaborating on the reasons to create Janet!

My argument can sound silly, particularly considering the fact that you do not have any obligations to justify your project that you opened for others. I am very thankful to open source contributors, but I have a feeling that many open source languages, frameworks, libraries, and desktop environments would be more popular, polished, and maintained, if we could compromise, tolerate, and control our ego or creativity, and contribute to existing projects.

I think, we can see the benefits of focus and discipline by comparing Rails and its gem ecosystem with “blossoming thousand flowers” of Node.js web frameworks.

It's not just silly. Sometimes this concern comes across as scolding people for how they spend their free time.
