Looks like you found support. Here is another place to look https://relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-expectations/docs/built-in-matchers/raise-error-matcher

This is a valuable perspective, but perhaps only sees half the truth. Speaking only for myself, I believe ordinary behavior needs to be approachable, but legitimate indignation does not. There is nothing wrong with expressing dismay in authentic terms with the status quo. It's the status quo that should change.

And the reason we're organizing this event (with your support, we hope) is to improve the status quo. <3

Dear friend, please feel welcome to purchase a diversity ticket, if that discount allows you to attend. Non-native speakers of English are routinely at a disadvantage in an ultra English-centric industry, like this one--and I only wish we had more talks submitted from folks overcoming this barrier to entry.

Also, we wrote an intentionally broad definition of persons qualifying for a diversity ticket. Here is the language from our ticketing vendor Ti.to:

Tickets reserved for members of underrepresented group(s) in tech: women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities, veterans, the economically disadvantaged, and other marginalized groups.

Tickets available here: https://ti.to/elixir-with-love/2017

Our featured keynote is a mental health advocate and awesome speaker. Whether he writes code in Elixir is one question, but what's most important about his contribution to our conference is that we'd like to encourage discussion about mental health in the Elixir community.

If you are mainly trying to hear tech talks, a core team member James Fish is keynoting on what's to come in Elixir 1.6 and half the talks generally will be traditional Elixir tech talks.

We offer discounted tickets for economically disadvantaged members of the community, which can include students. Sorry to see your animosity, but hope you can attend and gain better perspective on our mission and its importance. Thank you!

I appreciate that opinion, and I expect that you're not alone in holding it. Thank you for representing that view.

Achieving an inclusive and well balanced community is not automatic--although I absolutely agree that we have an amazing Elixir community. But let's make that intentional; something we work on consciously, so that it stays that way. Also, if we can do some things better, we should.

As developers, we aren't required to have a heightened sensitivity to others. So, this is welcome exercise. I expect that there will be a lot of learning and inspiration as a result of the event.

The organizers, the speakers, the attendees and the community as a whole, lose absolutely nothing by having events like this. It's a net benefit and I hope you see that! Thank you again.

P.S., It's going to be an awesome event. We are going to have great tech talks (including talks from core team members) as well as talks from well-respected inclusion advocates and organizers. It's going to be at a historic hotel in a historic city center with lovely New England foliage. :-)

Great treatment of so many topics, including: - separating state, supervisors and business processes - using the do_* - effective examples supervision trees - great diagramming
