Yes. The "tragedy of the commons" is a myth.
Without any limits, individual cattle owners have an incentive to overgraze the land, destroying its value to everybody.
This is factually false, because the land will be destroyed and individuals don't benefit, not even in the short term. Commons work great (see open source software), but capitalism and power structures abuse and destroy them for short-term profit.
Actually one of the few languages you can learn in its completeness in less than a day, so I wouldn't really say it's "hard to understand". More like hard to read and understands programs written in it.
