What languages should they steer away from?

In my experience, it's less that there's specific languages to avoid, and more that there's a general baseline of unpleasantness on the internet towards those folk. As a result, they tend to steer towards the islands where that doesn't occur.

The point is that there's less of a repressive force from some areas and more of an attractive force to others.

There isn't a list of "These are the problem languages", it's an experience of "Oh, this community has a CoC that protects me and has a culture I'm OK with".

For example?

I am capable of making assumptions by myself, I fail to see how these assumptions are relevant in the real World, where I never observed them except for single cases that are everywhere and happen more or less with the same frequency.

I can't take an hypothetical as something that should convince me to use Rust because "some other community is worse in my fictional story"

The point isn't to convince you to use rust, it's to explain based on my experience why the phenomenon that's been observed occurred.

I can say from my personal life that I have avoided or actively gone to stores based on similar perceptions, and tend to analyze the same information whenever joining a new online community.

I would have thought there are community guidelines for contributing or participating in most language forums?

The C++ conference is determined not to be safe: https://twitter.com/pati_gallardo/status/1526465336500965376

"This thread came as my response to this post by CppCon. Nothing has changed. They invited a person convicted of possession of Child Sexual Abuse Imagery to a conference with a child care program. Where people are encouraged to bring their children. https://cppcon.org/2022dipost/"

(note that this is a much higher bar than any mere "cancellation", the person in question has a criminal conviction)
