The C++ community can deal with it, I’m not part of it because I’ve been hearing stuff like this for a loooong time from both sides. I’m sure there’s a lot of truth to it. But in my experience either these situations get fixed early or they fester until a huge explosions (like metoo). Either way, all the drama is a far cry from the things I’m interested in - memory safety. If you can’t talk about that without wading through a sludge of toxic personalities, time is better spent elsewhere.

The JeanHeyd Meneide saga really says it all about what’s wrong with the C++ community. I would say their blog post is far more enlightening and avoids all the accusations and combative tone of the linked piece while still making clear what the problem is. And it’s technically enlightening to boot.
