> Part of me is very disappointed at ThePrimeagen, the Twitch streamer / YouTuber with whom I used to be friendly, for milking those controversies for every view and sub possible.

Nobody wants to name the one guy who Secret Hitler'd the keynote, but man let's name call a streamer unaffiliated with the project as soon as we can because he read the original blog post on stream and said 'this is bad'.

I had issues with how he commented on the trademark stuff months ago, which resulted in harassment of friends of mine. Things have gotten better since, Prime and I have talked yesterday and we’re good.

Finally, rushing into Reddit and HN to damage control over the rush. Out of all the things that could own a person and ruin their judgement, a toxic programming language committee ought to rank at the bottom.
