All socities are engineered at some level. That you guys think

difference between EUGENICS and CULTURE? WTF?
No wonder Donald Trump is having blaze! :-)
Well I can agree that Trump is like Hitler (and nazis, and
fascists, and eugenics, and communists, and jews) at least in one
specific aspect - references to him on a unrelated topic should
end the discussion.
Women do not loose out by not studying Comp. Sci. IT IS THE
OPPOSITE. Comp. Sci. loose out by not having the best qualified
students from both genders.
Women do not loose out by not participating in the D community.
IT IS OPPOSITE. The D community loose out by having a tone that
are off-putting to some women and even more men (due to the
fact that there are far more male system level programmers than
women). Yes, D has lost users thanks to this attitude. And
people have accounted for it.
So, if you want to stay small. Great. This is the way to go.
In my opinion D didn't gain as much traction because it's
mismarketed. It's marketed as a systems programming language
while it doesn't have advantages compared to the other system
languages - it's more problematic in cases where people need the
system level programming language, especially the fact that it's
heap-happy. It should be marketed as a domain programming
language because it has more advantages compared to other domain
programming languages (c#, java, go, python).
Making community more accessible is obviously desired. And I
agree with what you've just written - accessible for both men and
women. So it's not a gender issue. Policies applied need to be
neutral to not create resentment.
