All software has a political dimension as well, even hardware.
This includes programming language features. Often features cant be understood without understanding the context.
Programming languages encourage specific ways to think & build software. They are designed by people organized under specific rules. Conways Law already suggests this.
We dont talk about it enough and what implications it has and by being blind to it we miss a lot of opportunities for positive change.
