| Precisely. "The Ruby community even has their own acronym for being nice to other developers: MINASWAN" No, that is not true. That was coined, if I remember correctly, by the pickaxe. Matz is nice, but how does this translate to any other bad suggestion out there? I don't understand that logic. It's also not as if it is ... impossible to make suggestions to ruby core that are accepted? Like hundreds other people manage? Why does the dude above fail? Here is the issue tracker: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/issues?set_fi... You'll see a lot of assignee's done to matz, nobu, koichi etc... I mean they don't have 50 arms each and infinite time so they have to prioritize on what they work. "Some are xenophobic" That is so totally rubbish. Just go to the japanese bboy scene. They are not xenophobic AT ALL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Y75Rjl6UU They are people like YOU AND ME. Assuming that there is a huge, insurmountable cultural difference is just c-r-a-p. Or do you think that every japanese loves video games? Or loves ninjas and samurai? Or knows karate? |
I replied to a post made above, and expressed deepest sympathy for the Japanese people. While I was born in central Europe, I'd rather not be a citizen of any nation. I spend more time abroad than in the country I was born in. Speaking of which: central Europe currently has a huge resurgence of facist ideologies and xenophobia due to migrants from war-torn countries. Something which is utterly inconceivable to most people able to read a history book, given Europe's not so distant past with genocide. Unfortunately, xenophobia and right-wing sentiment is something that every democracy and thus nation faces, Japan isn't exempt from that [0] [1] [2].
(I currently live in Asia and spend a lot of time in Arabic countries, you may reconsider educating me on the subject with references to the bboy scene.)
