Re: [Dorset] Thought for the day:

[Stephen Wolff]

Diversity tends to be healthy for any eco-system, so personally I think we 
probably should care. When I’ve worked with female programmers, they tend to be 
better in some ways than their male counterparts, though that’s entirely a 
subjective observation. Maybe Python will get too mono-cultured and go to pot. 
Would diversity help prevent that?
