It doesn't seem as healthy to me, or as interesting a language, as it was before Hoare was unceremoniously booted from the project.

Didn't he step down voluntarily?[1] Or is there some back story to this that is not general knowledge?

To the best of my knowledge, it is not even rumored that he was booted from the project (and there are certainly people who would have a lot to gain from spreading such rumors).
