Actually this extreme gender imbalance is something that struct 
me ever since I started watching the DConf videos and following 
these forums. Is it the same in other comparable communities? Or 
is there perhaps something about the D language or its community 
that contributes to the extreme gender imbalance? 
(Competitiveness and occasional aggressivity in these forums, for 
example?)
