The real question is how did Python avoid the toxicity of the Linux or bitcoin dev community (remember the block size debate?)
Though there was a developer who was forced to quit a while ago.

It didn't. I've seen people in the Python community tear someone's open source project to shreds because "it isn't Pythonic". It really soured me on the Python community when I saw people acting that way.

Yeah, like most (maybe all) communities, Pythonistos can be pretty toxic if you're not in the in-group.
