To your point on "Gleam: the bad" and the ecosystem being small, I would add that this community has a history of activism behaviour. Some like that, I'm out.

What kind of activism? Isn't activism just "doing something to try and make a larger change"?

I wasn't particularly aware of that to be honest. What kind?

And a third group couldn't care less either way.

I have a few decades on my back, I am a father, a husband, a nerd... I once was young too, believe it or not, and I had ideals and I fought for them.

If you don't participate in this, why does it bother you? Unless they are active around your doorstep, that is.

I don’t have a problem with activism per se, but it does put me off how the official website tries to make the language and community look extremely friendly and cutesy, only to immediately break that facade. If that’s the look you’ve decided to go for, at least try and commit to it!

You know you don't need to follow hold their CoC in any way to use the language right?

Do you only use languages that you can contribute to their codebase?
