> Much less weight should be given to someone "feeling uncomfortable"
I think it depends what you're uncomfortable with. I remember some drama about removing some speakers from security conferences a while back, because people were understandably uncomfortable with them being rapists.
But being uncomfortable with ... talk about how compile time reflection might work in future versions of Rust? Huh? What?
Also I do agree about the language. People are from different cultures and so on, yada yada, but to me the used language feels very overdramatized and childish.
