Please don't use this issue to discuss dramas and decisions of other repository maintainers. This issue is only intended for posting links to new dramas, possibly with short summaries, to make people aware of them. Discussing multiple dramas on the same thread is impractical as the thread can grow long very fast. I will be removing or hiding off-topic comments to keep thread at reasonable size.

Winamp is having a license fiasco (also exposed third part proprietary code). The issues since have been spammed and PRs are mostly jokes

Thank you for this contribution. Unfortunately, as a project stewarded by Broadcom, we are unable to accept contributions from Russian sources due to Broadcom export policy at this time. Thanks for your continued use of Spring.

HACK vs F# pipeline operator proposal

Although it's been more than 3 years ago I think also the TC39 decision to move the HACK proposal of the pipeline operator to stage 2, should not be missing from this list. It caused quite a stir and some people are still resentful.

What happened?

Seemingly out of the blue on the 9th of September 2021, someone started closing and locking dozens of issues which were discussing pros and cons of different forms of the pipeline operator proposal, with the message Closing this issue, as the proposal has advanced to stage 2 with Hack-style syntax..

This caused quite a stir because lots of people liked the F# proposal. Multiple issues sprung up with long heated threads. Eventually measures were put in place that blocked issues for a while when they became too heated.
To this day still sometimes issues pop up which are mostly closed and locked when they start to heat up again.

A few examples of heated locked threads:

Added value of hack-style proposal against temporary variables

Hack is dead. Long live F#

Effect of Hack proposal on code readability

Viability of using |: as the operator for Hack-style

Some other long threads are still open though.

Frustrations of people looking forward to tacit syntax

Impact of Hack pipes on the JS functional-programming ecosystem
