This problem is much more serious when you are talking about opaque DSLs. Even having to retreat to dramatically different corners of a huge language is not too hot. By comparison, a garden of libraries that are all readable by anyone in command of a smaller core language is a smaller problem.


Depends how big the libraries are and if they are commercial or open.

But I agree with the DSLs, that is the curse of many Common Lisp shops, yet Lisp is a very simple language.
