Instead of writing that more programming languages should have a female perspective why doesn't the author simply write a programming language?

Edit - apparently I can't read (bad habit of skimming long articles and reading the body of the more interesting headers). She did make one - designed to teach children Python. I still think it would be more interesting to write a general purpose language with the values in the essay.



She did: https://www.hedy.org

(have not yet read the article beyond the first few paragraphs, where this is mentioned).


She has. It says it in the paper which you chose not to read.


OK, but if the end goal is to teach Python, isn't the language just Python? I'm not sure I get the point of learning one language to learn another language (unless the point if just to start learning a plethora of languages).

At any rate, I wish she'd included some sort of docs to read thru, rather than having to sit thru a bunch of busywork tutorials. I'd like to get an overview of what Hedy is about.
