I would say it is unfair to judge any language by their IRC channel unless they are core members of the group. In my experience IRC channels being rude is the norm rather than the exception.

In my experience many IRC channels are fine. If you run a project's IRC channel, there's really no excuse for forcing users to deal with a bad community, and a bad community is an excellent reason to find another project to spend your time with.

> In my experience IRC channels being rude is the norm rather than the exception. But it doesn't have to be that way. Rust has a very clear code of conduct (http://www.rust-lang.org/conduct.html http://www.rust-lang.org/conduct.html) aimed at avoiding exactly that kind of rudeness, and it has so for a long time. As a result the #rust IRC channel is a very pleasant place to be.
