Nah. Look up the drama with Larry Wall and Perl 6. Von Rossum and the Python 3 mess.
It goes back a long way. Wirth was against getting past Standard Pascal, which had no error handling or separate compilation. There was a huge feud between the Interlisp LISP people and the Symbolics LISP people, both of whom had way overdesigned the language, in incompatible ways. Scheme was a reaction to that.
Wow, the Scheme people had also invented time travel when they invented Scheme in 1975. They anticipated the Symbolics people "overdesiging" the LISP language when they started the company in 1980.
Then the Scheme people started to overdesign their language in reaction to the LISP people, since Scheme lacked even simple things like error handling.
Yes, I had the early history of LISP wrong. There were at least three major LISP factions in the 1980s, as LISP use expanded outside of the tiny AI community of the 1970s. Much controversy. All over now-dead issues.
Most languages don't go from having a major, centralized corporate sponsor, to having everyone from that sponsor let go over night. I think that has led to a lot of these problems, or at least seriously exacerbated them. Mozilla really fucked things up here.
I bet the early C and C++ iso committee meetings were just as bad if not worse. Worse cause it would be corporate entities having tamper tantrums about which pet language feature should get implemented.
There seems to be so much drama, relative to the other languages.
For some reason, you don’t hear about this much drama from languages that have far larger user bases.
