I have seen people speculate that this is due to the lower barrier of entry in the JS community (as a whole), although I'm not certain how true this would be.

- mgkimsal 10y agothere's a pretty low barrier to entry in the PHP world, and I don't think we've seen anywhere near the same level of scrutiny.
- mdadm 10y agoWell lately, everything seems to be focused on JS, no? There's node.js, react, angular, $JAVASCRIPT_FRAMEWORK_OF_THE_DAY, ... So if JS is most of what you hear about, and if the community does actually have low entry standards, it seems logical that it'd be the community that would attract the most issues.

- lukev 10y agoSo what you're saying is you want conferences to be a safe space for nerds, with none of them beginners or people with different ideas about what a good community looks like trying to mess things up?
- mdadm 10y agoThat isn't at all what I said. I specifically stated that I've seen other people say that, not that I myself think that. Of course different ideas are good; if we didn't have them, we'd be stuck in the stone age still. However, if the JS community does indeed have lower entry standards than normal, it stands to reason that such a conclusion can be reached pretty easily.
- Odin78 10y agoI had a similar experience with the Rust board, so (anecdotally) it might not be related to the low barrier of entry.
