    You just described Newspeak (Nineteen Eighty-Four novel):

    Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person’s ability for critical thinking. The Newspeak language thus limits the person’s ability to articulate and communicate abstract concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will,[1][2] which are thoughtcrimes, acts of personal independence that contradict the ideological orthodoxy of Ingsoc collectivism.[3][4]

  • Just to add that it was the worst performer because the tester made some mistake when doing said markdown test. When he corrected the test it was nowhere near the worst, but it was already to late.

    Some people (tester included) tried to reason with the dev, but to no avail. I think he was scared because he was using his real name in github, and didn’t want to have bad code in his résumé or something like that.

    IMHO, the dev overreacted. But it’s his project so it’s is decision.

    Some people forked the project before it went down, so maybe we can see a comeback in the future.
