This could not be more wrong.
Not everything is easy. If a library is addressing a complicated domain, solving by definition a complicated problem, it is fine if it requires some learning.
When did expertise and learning become bad things? If software is an engineering discipline, why would people in it ever promulgate the idea that any random cog can step in to any “engineer”s shoes?
Rich Hickey analogizes this mentality to the world of music, where it taken for granted that learning an instrument requires a lot of study:
“ We start with the cello. Should we make cellos that auto tune? Like, no matter where you put your finger, it's just going to play something good, play a good note.
“[Audience laughter]
“Like, you're good. We'll just fix that.
“ Should we have cellos with, like, red and green lights? Like, if you're playing the wrong note, you know, it's red. You slide around, and it's green. You're like, great! I'm good. I'm playing the right song. Right?
“ Or maybe we should have cellos that don't make any sound at all. Until you get it right, there's nothing.
“ [Audience laughter]”
