Unless you have mastered logic programming, especially PROLOG you will never understand declarative programming.

I took a course on PROLOG during my CS degree, and it confused the hell out of me. Not so much the principles of it, just how to get it to do anything remotely useful.

Unless you have mastered functional programming, especially Haskell†you will never understand Monad programming.
Unless you have mastered counting programming, especially ABC you will never understand declarative programming.

I used to like Prolog a lot, and wanted to program only in Prolog. Then I learned Haskell, and suddenly Prolog wasn't that interesting anymore.

I miss my little Ruby. I still weep when I remember the day she got hit by a train. But looking back, it was inevitable, 'cause Ruby on rails was slow as fuck.

In lojban we specify the word we use for quoting text.
zoi .gy. Hello, World! .gy -- “Hello, World!”
Here we have chosen gy (pronounced "guh" and is used because it is similar to glico -- English) to be our quotation marks. If our sentence contained gy we would just use another word.
mi pu cusku zoi .zy. Guh, English sucks! .zy -- I said “Guh, English sucks!”
mi pu zi cusku zoi .ty. mi pu cusku zoi .zy. Guh, English sucks! .zy .ty -- I just said “I said “Guh, English sucks!””
The question of how quote a quote-word does not apply to Lojban because any word can be a quote word. (Nice example is zoi .url. http://dis.4chan.org/prog/ .url..)

That has to be the clumsiest quoting system I've ever encountered. Why not just use any of the already established standard quote marks for the purpose?
