Love to see it. Not shocked, though.
For an opposite example, the creator of a niche programming language that is the only one I'm interested in (it's really great, and I haven't seen anything that comes close to fitting the same place) said something at-very-least stupid which was the final straw that caused a core developer (nearly co-creator? created the package manager+installer, wrote a book) to quit. And it already had a low bus-factor.
Can't say that without spilling the deets. What language?
Wouldn't have been difficult to sleuth using my profile here, but Nim-lang. Specifically because it's basically an all-in-one, being easy and fast+capable+flexible. Maybe not enough to go by (and I didn't finish/release it), but some code that I actually wrote (+what it's loading)
For further context on the statement by the creator, it was complaining about the "grammar" of singular they. Aside from that being an obvious culture-war BS dogwhistle, the person who quit knew them closely so I don't think it was an overreaction or misunderstanding.
@Serdan
Dang :( I was really interested in learning Nim. Too bad the creator is a asshole.
