The absurdity of relating programming languages to facial hair apart from being… well absurd … seems to preclude women, other than circus freaks, from being able to create a good programming language. Must be time to hang those sexists up by their beards 
But let’s not forget there is apparently a slight correlation between beards and anti-social behaviour… Unabomber, Manson… to name but a few. Ironically, most, many male street folk also seem to have beards. Do good programming language creators have to be bums at heart ?
Sure there is probably a correlation between being unwashed and unshaven, ordering pizzas, and locking oneself in a room for days on end.. but is the end result the world’s greatest programming language or just a stink bowl ??
