Why Dom96 Left Nim?

5 points by anta40 ↗ HN
I'm a veerryy casual Nim learner, only experiment with it when not occupied with office work or another hobbies.

Eventually I know Dominik Picheta a.k.a dom96, a very notable Nim contributor:

- Nim in Action (I learnt mainly from this book)

- Tools like jester, choosenim, etc

left the community. The only I clue I have is his tweet: https://x.com/d0m96/status/1592827547582332929?lang=en. Unfortunately the link quoted in his tweet is already deleted so I'm still unsure what the context was.

Perhaps some Nim community members can give some insight?

Maybe, this is not the answer you're looking for (so move along, move along :), but...

something which baffles me often is, that especially with such "new" programming languages, there is nearly always some kind of drama and it's often about being not inclusive or being too inclusive and what not.

I mean, nothing against having or wanting an inclusive community, but why does there always seem to be such a hyperfocus on community building in such projects (it's not limited to programming languages, though) that some kind of drama is inevitable?

I think that biggest difference is that older languages are so omnipresent in use/industry that bubble of social media [0] do not affect them.

[0]: social media is the thing that incubates drama
