Good spurt of #IFComp #game #coding. #Inform 7/10 is a largely #declarative language, very like coding in #Prolog. But sometimes you have to go #imperative. And I've just coded a ridiculously large set of nested IF ... OTHERWISE ... statements to handle a key situation. Now approaching the end of the game, though still have masses of earlier stuff to go back and finish off writing properly. #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #IndieGames #Programming #ComputerScience

A provocative thought, and a question.

After meeting the (uiua.org/) programming language, and identifying it as queer (in both gender and style), I started thinking about the intersection of and .

I feel that most programming languages are : the (do this, then do that) matches the stereotype of "man commanding". Object-oriented paradigm, same thing. paradigm resembles an assembly line, also stereotypically male.

I feel that some languages are : SQL and Prolog, both . But I know no language.

Do you see programming languages as gendered? If so, which ones you see as female, and why?
