idk, how do I contact “the community” when I have an issue in the first place? All I know of is StackOverflow, and they’re honestly toxic enough to make me never ask questions there in the first place.

But definitely one of the biggest factors that should be considered is how assholeish the community around a particular language is.

I think all of the factors you’ve mentioned are extremely valid, but this is the one factor that I think should absolutely not count into whether something’s a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ language. If I’m choosing which technologies to use for my next project, the question of whether it has a rude vocal minority in its community is AS FAR DOWN on my list as possible. Right next to whether its name is hip or whether their homepage is engaging.

Same shit happens on Windows. Games will just install their shit literally all over OS with no rhyme or reason to it.

Why can’t the save game and config.ini just be in the main god damn game directory? Nobody knows.
