I've seen many articles that have a common theme that constraints foster creativity.

Constraining oneself from using this sounds like a challenge and might help people be more creative.

Yes! The best article I have read on this is Why Programmers Need Limits.

Functional Reactive Programming FTW!

Cheers!
