No, suppose you make a contribution to a project and its creator belittles you instead of providing constructive criticism, for example. This contribution is not a new feature to the language, however, perhaps a 3rd-party library.

It has nothing to do with adding new features. I agree with you, I do not want the language to be bloated, nor do I want new features blindly added. I prefer simplicity, too.

FWIW you can see him losing his "cool" on Discord, too, at times.

You should back those claims with something more than handwaving.

  • I am not trying to make him look bad. I just simply stated my reasons for hesitancy when it comes to contributing to the language. At any rate, his messages are available on Discord (unless deleted) and the pull requests are out there too, on GitHub.

    I do not intend to have a collection of all the times he lost his cool.
