rust, ocaml, fsharp, nim, scala, clojure .. all use 
https://www.discourse.org/
I think this software is nowadays regarded and the best

I also agree with that, most people who leave probably leave for 
more objective reasons, like that the language doesn't answer 
their needs, or they didnt find the libraries they needed within 
the ecosystem etc...

But what I really meant, is that out of those who leaves, there 
is possible a very small percentage who left, because they 
couldnt communicate effectively with the community, and that 
better communication channels in general ( and a better forum 
software as an example) could have kept them around for longer , 
replacing the forum software is a small change, a small win, and 
I expect small returns. But a small win, is a win
