Rust community is always in drama and it’s just silly and unprofessional

I have a vague memory of the Ruby community from around 2008-2010 going through dramas as well, but at least it wasn't in the core-lang layer.

It left a very similar impression: silly and unprofessional.

You can’t make an accusation like that based on “vague memory”. At least try to substantiate your claim.

It's been 13-15 years, Ruby-world was full of drama between DHH-fanatics, and their opposition. I won't be scavenging through Google's enshittified search to substantiate anything just to please the desire of random HN users.

And just to be very clear: I can do whatever I want (under what I believe is a good internal moral guidance); I wanted to comment on a vague recollection I had of the state of the world at the time and I did.

Given you explicitly marked it as 'vague memory' so people could choose to weight (or if they so wish discount entirely) your comment based on that, I don't really understand the complaint.

Not the OP, but there even used to be a rubydramas.com site. Not longer available and archive.org doesn't work for me there, but there have been a few HN submissions about this.
