Indeed. Some of the responses by some Go fans really leave me surprised to say the least.
At least those communities embrace modern computing abstractions and code distribution practices.
Like PostgreSQL and OpenBSD, I've been permanently turned off Rust because I never want to be left at the mercy of a community that invests so much time in harassing and insulting others.
After all, when compared with the first Oberon version, Go only needs a few more primitives in runtime and unsafe, Kernel and SYSTEM in Oberon respectively.
This is what attracted me to the language in first place.
who is harassing or insulting anyone in the Postgres world?!?!
I basically stopped using (public) IRC somewhere around 2000. I have little idea what goes on in PostgreSQL's IRC channel(s). I expect it's toxic, but I'd expect that for any project's IRC presence. Public IRC is an inherently toxic medium.
