Depends on which community camp you're in. I'm more in the 9front camp where yes, you have to deal with a lot of younger people, some even young teens. They lurk 4chan and meme like children but it's active and there are a lot of passionate people on there. There is even a 9front discord clent called disco that's written in Go. There is also an IRC bridge (##9fans on freenode).
The 9front camp might be off putting to some but I don't mind. It's good to see young people be passionate about something and actively participate.

- MisterTea 8y agoHe's a really nice guy though. 9front didn't do itself any favors with the arrogance and RTFM mentality so I didnt feel comfortable asking questions. But mycroftiv really makes hubchat pleasant and welcoming along with the others. I felt comfortable asking questions that I felt were dumb, e.g. why does 9fs 9fat fail in a drawterm session? "Oh you just have to `bind -a '#S' /dev` to get the serial ata controller in your shells namespace" Cool people.
