To play devil's advocate: do compiled languages have the same effect? They create a separation between developers (who use the source) and users (who use binaries). Especially for projects with a long/slow build process, like LibreOffice, this can be a considerable barrier to development. By contrast, even the biggest codebase you use in a language like Python, you can dive into the code directly. Well, unless it's Software as a Service. |
