I just don’t get why people stuck around Ruby to this point. Python checks the same boxes, it’s way more popular, and it’s run by fairly well adjusted people.

Python Drama: “Some APIs broke.”
Ruby Drama: “Major project leader went white nationalist.”

@sandofsky isn’t the major drama in rails land not ruby itself?

@paul @sandofsky everything’s really off the rails

@paul It bled over, which seemed inevitable given Rails was the dominant reason people used Ruby, last I checked.

The top RubyGems sponsor pulled out after the org invited DHH to speak. Shopify stepped in to bail it out, but also take it over, ousting existing maintainers.

Things get even more chaotic from there, but at this point I need an almanac to track all the drama.
