@morebento @tekin I think it’s doubly sad because there’s a lot of good being done with Ruby, not least Mastodon - an incredibly successful Rails project that he just has never even mentioned, it’s dead to him because of his ideological blinders. He took so much psychic damage from that walkout and he’s never going to recover.

@hejsna @tekin thanks that does sound like a toxic community! That ethos does permeate through like any group. I’m not a Ruby user and have only ever briefly paid attention to rails and so on but it’s sad to see this stuff happen. There are many cases of inclusive communities. The recent Python documentary highlights the work needed to do that.
