Fair enough, my problem is that the project continually looses what appear to be serious contributors to a toxic developer (admittedly all second hand to me; but there are public examples and some private reports I have; including the person who first showed me Julia years ago). For all that it is an interesting language with plenty of problems I would enjoy fixing and taking the initiative on I simply don't have a desire to want to contribute. Again mostly due to politics. Which just sort of makes me bitter you fail to acknowledge the problems.
Like why should I take lots of time (I'm fine doing hard things like reading undocumented code bases if it's worth it (large sections of the core compiler code due to it's lack of comments or documentation are hard to read)) to help you fix technical problems, when you have social problems that are noticeable to anyone paying close enough attention to the community.
Also, thanks for taking the time to listen to my rants. I'm just disappointed.

However, I maintain that the overwhelming majority of interactions in the community are immensely positive. Please do also consider that there may be parts of the story that you are not seeing in the public issues. I do hope you will consider giving the community a second chance. You have quite clearly identified some of the major technical challenges we face and we'd love to hear any ideas you have to address them.
