What you're observing with "master" -> "main" and issues with pronouns that 
you've brought up in the past seem absurd out of context but they exist because 
they signal support for certain groups of people in tech who are being 
_violently_ oppressed or at least suffer hundreds of micro-aggressions on a 
daily basis.

You are not waking up to a "clownworld", it is in fact a much better one than 
the one in which you and I grew up.

Nim is a nice language and has a lot going for it technically but tech is not 
neutral and this kind rhetoric from you, the creator and BDFL, is utterly toxic 
and basically a welcome mat for fascists, racists and sexists and a giant red 
flag for everyone else. No language is worth that.

Presumably Nim is your life's work so for your own sake and for the sake those 
of us who have contributed to the language or built on top of it or staked our 
reputations by talking it up in highly regarded conferences Please. Just. Stop.
