Today, Sawyer X stepped down from Perl Steering Committee and Perl Core Developers due to emotional distress from arguments: https://perl.topicbox.com/groups/perl-core/T7a4f1bf9e069641f

The BDFL of Python, Guido van Rossum, stepped down for similar reasons, saying something controversial and getting massively bullied about it.


How does this relate to D? D has the most emotionally positive and vibrant language communities I've been in. People express gratitude and use humble and positive language.

Defining a systematic library for that stuff would be pretty awesome and would cut down a lot of duplication from Phobos.

Note how positive the language is. It makes me want to share other ideas about testing I have for D Language.

Let's keep D positive.

Very important point. I think we have a pretty good balance. If your ideas are good you'll know about it, and if they're no good, you'll know about it, but in a respectful way! ☀
