Maz (ruby author) is nice and so we are nice, isn’t so bad. It’s twee sounding but saying you are going to follow the example set by the founder is absolutely fine. Is it any worse than the Python ‘benevolent dictator for life’ example?

My interactions with Guido haven't been awesome. But the people put up with him regardless. The other people in python have been awesome.
