I am a Ruby dev, and one of the things I appreciate most about the language is that once I broke down the initial barriers we're talking about now, there was practically nothing stopping me from saying "I am a Ruby dev"

IMHO it is a feature if your language guides people that are at first just passive users to become devs and contribute to your project with issues and pull requests.
