an open invitation

If you're interested in making great software by discovering the deeper truth of logic and abstraction, then this is an open invitation for your participation in our community. Unfortunately, most software communities are notoriously imbalanced, creating needless hurdles for people of various gender identities, races, religions, political groups, sexual orientation, and disabled communities (to name a few). Such exclusion services no one's best interest. So, we want to actively call for participation from anyone interested in making our software better.

We guarantee a safe environment where we promote well-reasoned arguments that lead to the greatest software we can possibly make. Unfortunately, along the way someone may make an error, or worse yet, exercise malice. We'll work hard towards keeping conversations objective and inclusive. Sometimes it's tough work, but we're completely invested in the process. If you feel a public forum has not served you well, please contact us privately so we have a chance to see how we can better help.

We do not want to be cynical about what people can accomplish. We think together we can all make great software, and we invite your participation.
