Here is what I noticed about this, sorry if it is considered too off-topic:
There was an argument, about something specific and technical; It was refuted without singling out a specific person by name; without using humiliation or insults; using code to do so ("show me the code!"); and there was a polite acknowledgement and resolution.
This is an example of an interaction in a community that I think anyone would want to be a part of. Thank you.
- steveklabnik 12y agoI'm glad you appreciate it. :) We're far from perfect, but we're trying to build a great community, not just great software.
- twic 12y agoDid Torgo mean the Rust community or the HN community?
- dmix 12y agoSeems like he was replying to the post by Ted, which was in response to a comment on HN. So I don't think this is about the Rust community.
- Torgo 12y agoI was thinking HN-affiliated, but it applies to the Rust community as well I think. I have seen very positive things on their IRC. Also would like to say that I am loving everything Ted Unangst-related, the OpenBSD community has an (often undeserved imo) bad rap and he is a great ambassador for that community as well, in addition to his amazing technical prowess. With all the talk about toxic communities lately I just want people to recognize positive examples that exist that could be used as guides without being preachy about it. Again sorry for OT, disengaging.
- peri 12y agoI'm incredibly slow to check this thread, but I wanted to make sure I mentioned that this made me feel better about the rust community also. Keep doing great work :)
- steveklabnik 12y agoAwesome :)
