About this, I have an anecdote : I went in a big IRC channel on FreeNode
about C or C++, asking
How brave of you :)

It's not being brave, it's a waste of time. Oh well, not always. There are lots of people who know a lot stuff in there. But there was that guy who refused to answer a question because I was asking about C/C++ and he answered « C/C++ is not a language ! » as if I didn't mean two languages (???). And then there are people who will flame you for about 15 minutes if ever you state (in sample code) something that clashes with a library that THEY use.

But then, even that feels like a warm welcome compared to ##politics... it's all relative.

Yeah, the C rooms are pretty intense. Some old school, hardcore grumpy nerds there, they make us all look like children ;)
