[llvm-dev] Inclusive language in LLVM: can we rename `job` in source code?

[via llvm-dev]

Agreed.
While we are at it, we should also show our support of LGBTQP+ community. After all we wouldn't want to get cancelled like JKR after her transfobic tweet.
How exactly should such changes in LLVM look is up to discussion but there's a perfect example from a related issue: female/male (connectors). Apart from the fact that there's no such thing as gender (in a biological context) it's also confusing because even those who explicitly identify as women don't necessarily have to be "on the receiving end". Ergo, proper replacement terms would be active/passive.
- P.A.

Here we've began discussion about "master"

Lets remove Job word completely
But as one can easily fact-check, in Russian (slavic?) language,
for example, the word "Worker" can be translated as "Работник", "Рабочий".
Similarly the word "Job" can be translated as "Работа".
As you may notice, they all contain "Раб", which, as you can easily
check, literally translates to "slave".
To Russian people it doesn't seem very inclusive use words with such dubious origin.

 
We have many uses of Job word
