> Rich Hickey specifically said that some Lisp groups were extraordinarily toxic

This is an interesting topic I try to stay away from here, for obvious reasons, but so many lisp communities I’ve seen seem to form around these cult of personalities or have the most, err.. eccentric members. More so than any language I’ve seen. People like to joke about Haskell programmers being cult like, but I’ve been down some really wild rabbit holes with lisp.

Ironically I recall some allegations against Hickey a while back that if true would land him in that category.
