@fasterthanlime Just because I use Rust doesn't mean I am trans

I mean, I am trans, but not because I use Rust ​​

@natty @fasterthanlime personally I’m waiting to start progesterone first … then I’ll worry about moving to rust. Everything in time.

Since I know nothing of rust and wanted to join in, I shall go literal.
An oxidation of rust devs.

@fasterthanlime I went ahead and wrote some code that goes through the stackoverflow 2022 dev survey results and figure out what language has the highest percentage of trans people. Here's the results:

@zperk13 @fasterthanlime somehow I don't find this overly surprising, knowing what I know of the overall vibe of some of these communities.

Still, given that I'm guessing the natural background rate of people identifying as trans is somewhere between maybe R and Solidity, what makes PLT-friendlier languages also trans friendlier?

(Also, Haskell's community seems to be extraordinarily good at driving cisgender women away, even if we do seem to be very welcoming of transgender women. That observation has bothered me for years.)

@zperk13 @fasterthanlime I’m not surprised to see that C# is toward the bottom. I *am* surprised to see HTML/CSS/JS down there.
