A toxic community won’t help you in good faith when you’re running into issues, and this makes it harder to develop using a language with a toxic community.

idk, how do I contact “the community” when I have an issue in the first place? All I know of is StackOverflow, and they’re honestly toxic enough to make me never ask questions there in the first place.

Yes, and answers on StackOverflow about languages that have toxic communities are worse than answers on StackOverflow about languages with less assholeish communities in my experience. As I mean it, StackOverflow posts tagged with the language (and probably even more so those posts’ responses) qualify as part of “the community”.

Touche. I personally found Discord users to be helpful and welcoming, but that was moreso for libraries and not languages.

Documentation is not a community though.
