What? No. Politics has no bearing on any number of technical discussions. Why should I consider liberal/conservative ideology when deciding if the CFoo should inherit from CBar.
- Crespyl 8y agoBecause the concept of inheriting things from your ancestors is reflective of your white male heritage that doesn't have a slave-ship shaped hole in your family tree. We should find more inclusive semantics for programming languages, or else risk perpetuating inherited racist cultural assumptions. /s
- pas 8y agoOP obviously, not everything is directly about politics, but evrrything can and does become a political battleground. Think about how Master/Slave vs Primay/Secondary is an issue. It's technical, but at the same time choice of nomenclature reflects about those who chose them.
