“Jokes” Against Other Programming Languages

[hagenburger]

@StephanSchmidt pointed out the often shown hate agains other programming languages within slides. Should we include that in our code of conduct?

As mentioned, this does not apply to usergroups that are not centered around programming languages. I would mention dismissive speech towards other communities.

@skade could you make a suggestion in a branch and mention this issue to have something to discuss?

This is very specific (there are disses against coders/non-coders, other operating systems, etc) and I'd argue that programmers from (any) language are not part of a marginalized group. It derails from the larger power structures that this CoC wants to address.

The concern about violent imagery / wording is already covered in another section of the CoC, too.
