They tried to cancel Matz for not supporting weird DEI corporate speak in the TOS, they've been trying to cancel DHH for years for his mild conservative lean.
There's also a weird contingent who keep trying to push stuff like TypeScript for Rails and typing for Ruby, at one point they wanted to fork Rails when DHH made Hotwire default (they wanted React), etc..
Outside the weird US corporate bubble, Ruby is doing just fine. Japan, Europe, Canada, etc... Rails World gets bigger and bigger, Ruby Kaigi is growing, etc...
Also, do you watch his podcast? His host (who's literally also one of his employees) is a black woman. Not proof he's not racist, but suggests probably not.
Unless you just assume anyone to the right of you equals racist, which lots of leftists do. Which is one of many reasons why the global right is rising...
They've literally never had a country. Went from Roman to various foreign Islamic states (plus a crusader kingdom and the Mongols briefly) to Ottoman to British to part of Egypt (Gaza) and Jordan (West Bank) to current situation.
Either way, it's weird that leftists will say every culture deserves their own land/country except Europeans...
You act like Palestine wasn't its own state before mass migration of Israeli settlers. Israelies have been expelling Palestinians and annexing their territory since about 1948.
So, do answer your extremely naive question, yes Palestinians deserve their own country. Preferably the territory they've occupied longer than the Israelies.
I love seeing where Ruby Kaigi is going. Do you happen to have a link regarding a cancel against Matz? I'm often heads down and am genuinely curious to know more.
A very biased take to be sure. Who is the "they" you are referring to? Who is "the American Ruby community"? Sounds like a thinly-veiled attack on "leftists".
I know plenty of Rubyists in Europe who these days find DHH as a person to be completely odious, not to mention a maintainer in violation of CoC.
IMHO he violated the CoC of the Turbo project. FWIW, I'm by no means a TypeScript guy so I was even sympathetic to his general ideas on that topic. But his handling of it was terrible.
?? Isn't Turbo his own project? Also in the previous comment you mentioned Ruby CoC which has nothing to do with any project that's not the Ruby interpreter/project itself...
