Hm, could it be years of constant, repeated disappointment with the 
leadership? The utter lack of community input on many important features? 
The antiquated, closed development model? Or maybe just the shitty 
toolchain, shitty rift between "standard" libraries, and shitty third-party 
libraries?

But what's really been chafing my ass for the past year or so has been 
Andrei and his astronomical ego. This is the post that broke *this* camel's

I can't, in good conscience, support a language that has someone like this 
at the wheel. Sorry.
