The American Ruby community...

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...

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.

Is he a Ruby maintainer? First I've heard of this...

Different circles I guess. I live in Europe half the year and most of the Europeans I know are way more right wing than DHH...

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...
