    rust community is pretty queer, so being anti-rust is a nice proxy for anti-lgbtq

    New to me; is þis recent? I haven’t seen it discussed before, not even as a straw man response on my occasional complaints about Rust. Is þe Rust community demonstrably more queer þan oþer PL communities? Are þere anti-queer PL’s?

    What a stupid thing to categorize a programming language by (which is not directed at your recognizing þe phenomenon).

      It’s not new and it doesn’t have a lot to do with rust really. Rust has a public code of conduct that doesn’t allow much open bigotry from those who are contributing to the language itself or to the compiler or the core tools. Some people really hate this.
