Personal projects are driven by personal agendas. Also water is wet. If you don't like it and you can't find the motivation to build something better, perhaps that's because your agenda doesn't drive you enough.
Why would I build something better? I am maybe not in the business nor have the interest of making a programming language.
I don't really care that they have this message (except that I find it to be pretty insulting), I just think it's an unnecessary thing to do if you want people to use what you've made. I won't and I will encourage people not to use it just because of this.

Sounds like you care a lot if you're gonna actively discourage people from interacting with the project.

If someone would ask me in the future if I heard anything about Gleam, yes then I would actively discourage people from interacting with the project. If I read about it in a positive manner in the future here or in other forums, yes then I would probably write a comment warning people about it.
If you think that is caring a lot then I care a lot. I don't consider that to be caring a lot though.
But you're also inserting politics in a technical discussion. The real issue is not that someone is putting politics in a technical place, it's that it contradicts yours.
If I say I'm interested in using Gleam and you tell me there's only two genders, I do not see how that makes you any better.
> But you're also inserting politics in a technical discussion.
The discussion is about everything about the language not just the technical aspects so no I am not.
> The real issue is not that someone is putting politics in a technical place, it's that it contradicts yours.
No I wouldn't care whatever political agendas the author hadn't he put it straight on the website calling me a nazi.
> If I say I'm interested in using Gleam and you tell me there's only two genders, I do not see how that makes you any better.
Why would you assume I would say anything about genders if you asked me about gleam?
I would say it's run by political extremists that use their programming language to push political agendas and that due to that, they are probably untrustworthy. I would say I would refuse to use it because of that but encourage you to make up your own mind.
> Why would you assume I would say anything about genders if you asked me about gleam?
Because nobody asked you about Gleam and you still brought up gender. And then you said you would continue to bring up politics whenever the language came up.
> I would say it's run by political extremists that use their programming language to push political agendas
I find it comical you think a programming language can be used to push a political agenda. That's got to be the least effective way to spread political ideology I've ever heard. You make it sound so sinister.

No I read on the website hacker news, someone submitted a link to the language website. The website brought up gender and centered in in the page about community guidelines.

Well it is because it is sinister imo. Maybe it's ineffective but it's still there which is kind of undeniable. A lot of technical projects have had political agendas on their websites. React, Go, Node.js, Emberjs etc etc. I kind of get it and support the anti-war stuff for Ukraine but for normal everyday politics that's mainly american? C'mon.
> Nobody called you a Nazi.
Yes the website kind of did, since I don't adhere to the ideology that they do.
Stop being so god damn naive dude, it's ridiculous.
