The pejorative denotation of the term "SJW", judging by explicit definitions, seems to describe something I've never seen. People getting offended at everything possible while ignoring social issues -- well, okay, the "Happy Holidays" vs "Merry Christmas" wars, but that's a typically conservative thing to get worked up about, and the SJW stereotype is liberal rather than conservative. Judging by who is labeled an SJW, I'm one, and mentioning the existence of trans people in a context where their existence is relevant is sufficient to be labeled an SJW. As for judging a programming language in three seconds...that's a bad analysis of the situation. I left Nim in part because Araq was, shall we say, less than friendly. That wasn't the only reason, but it was a contributing factor. A poor impression of the community might not suffice to drive anyone away, but it can be a factor that, combined with poor documentation and poor library support, causes someone to leave.
