On discussing the 2% of respondents who found the Clojure community to be a problem:
...rather than simply bask in the awesomeness of the Clojure community, let’s ask: is it possible to make that number be 0% next year? What can we do to minimize those negative interactions? Are they caused by random misunderstandings, or are there just a few bad apples?
This is how programming communities should be discussed. This statement gives me hope.
- mattdeboard 15y ago#clojure on freenode is glorious. I've never seen such a round-the-clock cadre of participants in an IRC channel who will take the time to give such thoughtful explanations. It reminds me of a time before the explosion of documentation for about everything on the web, when going to an IRC channel was the authoritative way of getting hard questions answered.
