...the best way to make things work is to not need to communicate at all. It's exactly the same issue as in parallel programming - any communication inevitably is the main bottleneck.
And the best way to avoid communication is to have some "culture" - which is just another way to say "collection of rules that don't even need to be written down/spoken, since people are aware of it". Sure, we obviously have a lot of documentation about how things are supposed to be done, but exactly as with any regular human culture, documentation is kind of secondary.

THIS is why Lisp will never become a mainstream language.
