> I would have thought trying to keep the discussions about the programming language itself would be enough. This is actually quite tricky. Policing off-topic in IRC channel is harder than policing abuses. For a concrete example, Go discussion is often tolerated in #rust IRC channel and I think it should be, but "boobs or gtfo" should not be tolerated. I was actually in the channel when "boobs or gtfo" incident happened, and it was one of reasons for Rust to adopt a code of conduct.
