- rz2k 10y agoThe differences are very small, and I am not too surprised with the relative popularity of Matlab and R compared to say Haskell, since there are relatively more women majoring in engineering that computer science, as well as relatively high numbers doing quantitative work in the social sciences. I wonder why Rust, though, is such a huge outlier. Maybe it is just noisy because there are so few people asking about Rust at all on Stack Overflow.
- openasocket 10y agoFrom the link, the women surveyed skewed towards being more junior/less experienced. And Rust is not exactly a language that skews towards junior developers, due to its high learning curve. I bet Rust would be less of an outlier if one controlled for level of experience.
