I don’t see your point. A large base of Nim users are looking for a pragmatic alternative to the C/C++ family without the aggressive anti-modernism of Go. Nim is certainly not the only player in this realm, but far as I know there isn’t a “Nim Drama” Twitter or tumblr. The drama queen stereotype of Ruby and Rails is very well earned on a repeated basis. All the communities have had their dramas but Ruby and Rust to a lesser extent seem to attract it a lot more as a pattern.

- ImprobableTruth 6y agoWell, you sure make a good case for Rubyists being incredibly pretentious.
- ForHackernews 6y agoHardly anyone uses Nim. It's extremely niche, even compared to something like Rust. That's why there's no Nim infighting. Before you can have dozens of people fighting about a thing, you need more than a dozen people to care about that thing.
- dom96 6y agoOh believe me. There definitely is infighting. The people doing the infighting just haven’t started trying to involve the wider audience (yet?) :)
