Not that he has any real power here, but has anyone asked Matz what he thinks about all this?

He usually just stays out of this stuff. The funny thing about inventing a language you love, is you spend your career writing C rather than actually writing code in the language you love.

pike devs put it this way: we are writing C so you don't have to.

That's hilarious. "Our business decisions are questionable but for religious reasons we can't talk about it right now now"

It's literally a culture's New Year's Day and a holiday...

There's an old piece of advice: If a girl cancels on you without taking the initiative to reschedule, it doesn't matter what the reason is, she's not interested.

In other words: They aren't respecting the holiday. They're using it as an excuse.

He's pretty tight lipped about his opinions. He does seem to get along with DHH and Tobi though, he shared a stage with them at one Rails World... Also I doubt the culture warriors are going to get what they want from Matz, he's a devout Mormon, a religious group known for conservative beliefs.

It's usually conservative religious groups that are culture warriors, so this would be getting what they want

OT: DHH speaks true, not everything, but mostly yes. London is a hellhole, same like other big cities for example in Germany. (In my country (CZ), Germany is called new middle east, lol)

And as a bonus, you don't have any rights to self-defence, you cannot own a gun, in UK you cannot even use dumb pepperspray for defense, ridiculous. Great to live in country, where your only option for self-defense is to lay on the ground and die or be raped, while you wait for police.

All these lefties do is to destroy, they don't want to discuss anything.
