- cgh 2y agoHow is the Zig community political? I use the language but I’m not involved with the community at all.
- melon_tusk 2y agoJust follow Andrew Kelley on whatever platform he hasn't ragequit from these days.
- poncho_romero 2y agoPlease give us some examples
- cgh 2y agoAndrew Kelley is just one guy and he’s allowed to express his own political opinions online, just as you are. What evidence is there that the community as a whole is “annoyingly political”?
- dpatterbee 2y agoThere's no community in the world that isn't political. Perhaps the issue is actually just that you disagree with the politics that are popular there?
- melon_tusk 2y agoNo, the "C community" and creators aren't making a political stance on things at all. Lua doesn't either. The Zig creator is very outspoken on political matters.
- poncho_romero 2y agoNot making a political stance is implicitly embracing the status quo. That’s usually fine because most hot political issues are far away from programming language design and implementation. Others feel differently, that political issues which affect community members (or people who could become community members) are important to speak out on. Regardless, every community takes political stances, some are just more upfront about it
