> In the scope of my research, a feminist programming language is to be built around a non-normative paradigm that represents alternative ways of abstracting. The intent is to encourage and allow new ways of thinking about problems such that we can code using a feminist ideology...
> The idea came about while discussing normative and feminist subject object theory. I realized that object oriented programmed reifies normative subject object theory. This led me to wonder what a feminist programming language would look like, one that might allow you to create entanglements (Karen Barad Posthumanist Performativity).
Somebody please tell me, is this like the Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity, or is it serious?
This is actually a sincere question. My first reaction was that this must be a parody. What in the world would it mean to code using any kind of ideology? "I believe strongly in this principle, therefore my code is correct!" That's what it sounds like to me.
But maybe there is something I missed entirely. If so, please enlighten me!
