Do you want to know the truth? I don't think there are very many people who "love" languages. Most of the people who claim to be PL aficionados are not PL aficionados but syntax aficionados. The part that is not syntax flies right by them. The syntax which is supposed to make the semantics more transparent instead makes it more opaque. Not because it's a "bad" syntax, but because it's a "good" syntax!

"GRUNNUR"

I have a morning ritual that I need to share. I call it 'the "GRUNNER". First I crouch down in the shower in the classic 'Snorri Agnarsson' pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Snorri or the other guy from the Háskóli Íslands (not the chick because she sucks) and I start to hum the Fjölnir theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed through my day as an emotionless, satori badass. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my leg. It ruins the fantasy.

That's true. Idiots who get worked up about FIOC or semicolons are missing the point entirely.

You'd better not be slagging off electrical engineering
