Not OP, but at my workplace, we never discuss sexual orientation, race, religious belief or gender of coworkers, because that would be very unprofessional. So, no, I can't ignore all that and just us the language. I can't use a language in a professional context when I consider the core team to be unprofessional. But that's a nice social experiment and I'll probably use rust for my personal projects.
