I should have said: desktop linux / Gnome. That would have been the clearer analogy.
But I don’t think it’s as simple as “who do you want to hire.” It’s not that hard to learn a new programming language. I have a hard time believing that if a small founding team picked lisp and got to product-fit, there wouldn’t be a fundamental barrier to them scaling the team.
