Are there any female programmers using D? :) Moreover, the socia Media representation of D sucks. I think we need a female, at least someone soft and mortal who actually understand how to communicate and build a community. Coders suck at these things and its not helping. This is not about gender balance crap, it about building a community. Forgive me for my brutal opinion. Destroy :) |

Posted in reply to Karabuta | If you're looking for girl try matchfinder.com or something like that. Here's about "Compilers/Programming Language" so most people here are bearded guys. |

That's a lot of stereotypes of both men and women, especially male coders. I don't appreciate the implication that women would be better than me at communicating because I'm a guy. And I'm sure women don't appreciate being called "soft" and "moral".
Let's drop this whole discussion before it gets embarrassing for everyone.

I can't be the only one who is irritated by this use of the word "female". Why do you avoid "woman"? "A female" sounds like you're talking about an animal.
Also, I don't agree with equating female with social media / public relations / community work. If someone wants to take a role of community manager (or whateer), great. I don't care if they're a man or a woman. We should not ask female programmers to be poster girls for D.

I care about the community and that is where I would like to see more activity. The community(social) has currently received less attention IMO. It's not that D is not yet good for more adoption, the issue is with social marketing. |

Really, you guys feel that way? Maybe it's because we are from different cultural and social backgrounds :)
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is what I intend to pass forward for discussion.

"Mortal" not "moral", it's a figure of speech called "Metaphor" :) |

Wow, stereotype much? "soft and mortal". Yikes.
P.S. what's with calling women "females", is it an americanism? It sounds super weird to a British ear, we'd normally only say "female" in a technical setting or about an animal, so it can sound a bit disrespectful.

If I was coding that way, does it change your opinion ;)
