No problem! Your post was pretty interesting. As someone who's never used Haskell ( ducks ) it's nice to hear about its functional advantages. If you're doing another post, it would be nice to see examples of a functional implementation of

Minor nitpick: decoupling isn't the ability to test things separately— although it allows you to do that. Decoupling is the minimization of a piece of software's dependence on another.

It's a huge stretch to assume someone's proficiency in a field is due to a trait they were born with. We don't even know the extent that your environment affects your brain versus your genes, so there's no way you could know people are b

I don't think age is as big a factor as you make it. I learned how to program at about 19 and got right into without any previous programming experience. If programming is indeed a skill, then why can't someone learn it at any age? My fathe

A non-realistic explanation would be that women are evolutionarily built to hate programming/technology so these fields naturally do not appeal to them. This also encompasses the "men are better at tech" thing. Another non-realistic expla

No, it says the gender gap is caused— in part— by assumptions that favor men due to the tech industry already favoring men. The first item on the list about video games being male-centric sets up the rest.

You're doing a poor job of not continuing to discuss it with me by immediately continuing to discuss it. Of course I have an agenda: it's to hopefully enlighten some HN readers about gender discrimination in the tech industry. Most people h

They're reasons why women are not participating— not reasons why "women are different from men in ways that make them poorly suited to a role in computing". There is a huge difference. No one is saying a class on algorithms is discriminatio

Metroid is gendered. Using this from another comment, here Samus is at the end of the first game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Samus_at_the_end_of_Metroi... Do you think that appeals to women? Do you have stats on the popularity of t

I have plenty of evidence in the form of experience by women. I don't have a "discrimination-measuring machine", though. You'd be hard-pressed to find one of those. I know this isn't what a lot of HNers like to hear, but discrimination exis
