What is pernicious about this French vs. Python or Japanese vs. Ruby conversation is that it is based on a false equivalency hinging upon the slipperiness of a shared word: language
Personally, I don't agree with considering Python or Ruby "languages" per se... As they are what I consider code. I have some knowledge of Python, albeit very minimal, but I still would not consider it a language such as Japanese.

The Digital Humanities—and by inclusion, Digital History—cannot be a playground for the privileged. Letting it become so will undo decades of important work done in the humanities to listen for and amplify the voices of those who are too often ignored.
This is very important, as history has been a playground for the privileged for so long. In fact, a lot of primary sources that were used for centuries were often from upper class members and/or high members of the military if we are talking about wars. Using primary sources such as satirical prints or writings of the "unprivileged" (please note the quotation marks as this could mean women in any class as well) gives us a better understanding of the people, their views on historical events and the mores of the time.

not telling your reader everything you know is central to how we present interpretations of the past. The point is, I didn’t leave this digital stuff out because it was digital but rather because leaving stuff out is what we do in the process of turning research into publication.
This is true, in a sense, as leaving stuff out in the process is also a way to ensure that the reader looks up things themselves. It's a good way to not overwhelm the reader and can thus create an even greater interest.

It is on making and selling of satirical prints in Britain – mostly London – during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Very interesting subject; taken a look at such things as well in another History class regarding War and Europe from 1897 to 1914. Perfect primary sources for seeing the mores of the time and the opinion of the "common people"
