I agree that the experience is extremely off putting. But having been in the community for almost 5 years now, I have to say there are super awesome lovely people that are mostly silently working in the background and very hard at that. The loud minority unfortunately is grating, and I do wish the stewards of the language established more strict guidelines on conduct or philosophy of the language. I don’t want to name names here, but when prominent members of the Julia community bash other programming languages while ignoring the painful friction in Julia, it comes across as very tone deaf and in poor taste, and does set a bad precedent.

I think having a weekly what’s great about Python/Rust/Go/Zig and how can we port this to Julia would be awesome, instead of the weekly gripes about Python/MATLAB/R.
