It seems like there used to be a lot more women in computing. In my first job out of college (late 80's), I worked in a group of software developers with 12 women and two men. It was not considered odd.
I'm finishing up an embedded side project over the holidays. It's C, FreeRTOS and the STM USB host stack. I spend most of my time with the likes of React JS, Swift and Kotlin so it does give me a good, honest, fresh feeling. Also the feeling that my code could rise up and smite me at any moment! Great read, thanks for posting!
