@phillmv Not a Rubyist or Rails user, but it seems to me there are only two options: either the Ruby core team takes over Rails like it did RubyGems from the RubyCentral putsch, or you move on to something else. Preferably Rust, Go or Node based because in the post Moore's Law era, inefficient languages like Ruby or Python need to go.
I disagree that DHH is whistling, his explicit endorsement of an open racist like Tommy Robinson is as clear a statement of racism as it gets.

@fazalmajid @phillmv The racism is clear enough (though MANY people have trouble even seeing that and will defend it, and ask for a proof text to prove his racism but can't be bothered to read a well reasoned long-form explanation)... but the whistling she is referring to is the trans-related dog whistling. And that is extremely subtle and contextual.
