All I can say is GMAFB! Here is link to the article. Thanks to Dan for the link.
I can say one more thing. If they really want a feminist programming language, it would have to use five times the instructions that a normal programming language would use.
It also needs a function that causes it to do random rude uncooperative, emotional and insensitive stuff five to seven days a month.
A friend, many years ago stuck a hidden program on his fathers business computer. He tied it into the autoexec.bat file, and for about five days a month, when any one logged on, it would ask random questions ie, who are you, what do you want, etc. among the random things, was the PC utilities park command. The secretaries tried every thing, but all you had to do was hit enter until it loaded. Every time they called a repair tech, by the time he arrived, it was back to normal since response times were often a week or more in his area.
Isn’t the obvious problem that some can’t understand normal thinking?
“…it would have to use five times the instructions that a normal programming language would use.”
Wouldn’t that make it, COBOL? :>
Good point. Maybe we should make it five times the instructions that COBOL would use. COBOL was invented by a woman.
I took FORTRAN in college since that’s the language engineers use. I used to love walking up to the operator and hand him my deck of ten cards – yeah, this was in ancient times when programs had to be punched out on cards – while watching the COBOL programmers lug in a box of cards. I was always tempted to trip one of the COBOL students and watch their cards spill out all over on the floor.
A programming language where you don’t tell your program what you want it to do, you just sort of drop a lot of hints, and then let it know that whatever it wound up doing is completely wrong.
The 21st Century is going to be *awesome*
When interacting with feminist programming objects all your arguments are invalid.
It will also require infinite memory so that it can remind you of all your mistakes from time to time.
I was thinking SQL … only does like 5 different things but has over 300 reserved words.
