You left out the really gross quote from Rafael França: "I’m not so sure I trust them to not sabotage rubygems or bundler." I'm not eager to work with a community with leaders who say things like that in it. Imagine spending years volunteering work that helps a company like Shopify only to have someone malign your work like that.
I didn't understand why anyone would think that way. Python has new package management/build tools all the time and to my knowledge there's no drama about it, other then the normal dev arguments over which tools are best.
I'm reconsidering my opinion of Rafael considering the trajectory of DHH's rhetoric, and that Rafael has stayed in support of DHH throughout this time while many others have publicly called him out. Concerning.
