The only reason the fight against "master" and "slave" terms is the Marxist ideology which tries to control the mind through controlling the language. G. Orwell explained what is the purpose of Newspeak in his famous book "1984". ---------------------------------------- Misc #17828: Deprecate use of master and slave https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17828#change-91757 * Author: yyoshida.at.work@gmail.com (Yasuhiro Yoshida) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- In light of organizations like Basecamp and GitHub refraining from using words like "master" and "slave," it may be a good time for Ruby Core team to follow the practices. I also feel that this issue has been discussed before, and there may already be plans in place as it's a nice thing to do and there is a lot to cover that may require concerted efforts by the whole team. It would be nice if I could learn them and maybe contribute to the task. For now, I am thinking maybe I can start working on most of the documentations, comments, and even tests that have the terminology but wouldn't affect the code that is run in production. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
