> toxicity of a culture of elitism and a fetishizing of language purity
While you use words like toxicity, elitism, and fetishizing, a positive take could be given. Say instead there is a nourishing culture of experts, core contributors who mentor those interested and write articles expounding the language's culture. And that language purity is a meta reasoning tool that enables engineers to focus on business problems rather than the quirks of a language lacking conceptual purity.
- AnimalMuppet 6y ago"A nourishing culture of experts, etc" is not at all a positive take on "toxicity, elitism, and fetishizing". It's the polar opposite. Note well: I'm not taking a position on whether your particular group is toxic or nourishing. I'm just saying that you can't spin one as the other.
