Primates tend to attack each other out of envy when they become too similar and all behave the same exact way. They look to find someone to crucify to get rid of the angst built up from being too similar to the next person.
The Common Lisp community was pretty much the opposite of the Node/Rust crowd. Everyone was different. Lots of people were using different implementations of CL. Most people even had their own custom editors. And of course everyone had their own DSL of macros they carried around with them, so basically everyone had their own language. The supposed toxicity of the CL community was from the constant arguments because they all had strong opinions different from each other.
If this were the CL community, there would be 20 different versions of actix-web or something like it. There would be no need to create drama and make whiny demands of other people, because everyone in CL actually knows how to program.
