I've been really interested in Nim. Not doing anything serious with it yet but I've been following the project and reading about it and looking for a way to somehow use it in my personal or professional work.
This response from Andreas Rumpf, the designer and BDFL, instantly killed my interest. I cannot unsee and ignore what I just read. (https://imgur.com/a/aGLOkfl)
However technically interesting/beautiful this language looks, I do not wish to associate myself with a project who's BDFL's world view contradicts mine so much.
His response instantly set a toxic tone for himself and the work he represents.
It is very unfortunate but ultimately we're all humans and just as it is fine for Andreas to set the tone and govern his project the way he wants, it is fine for me to be picky about my friends and relationships and projects I like to associate myself with.
In this case, it is easy to follow my moral compass.
Buh.
