Interesting referencing a programming language as a feminine article like that... Not saying it's wrong, just unusual to me.

People downvoting an observation on a curious use of language? If it's because of some perceived political motive, then that's really sad.

I really did just wonder why anyone would anthropomorphize a programming language, by ascribing a gendered pronoun to it.

They're probably a native speaker of gramatically gendered language (like German, most Slavic languages etc).
My native languages has gendered objects, and "language" is feminine. Might be the same case
