Dungeons and Dragons

Lets compare D&D classes with popular programming languages.
(#1 most nerdy thread ever)

Fighter - C++
-Very versatile but more complex and not quite as effective in melee as a barbarian.

Barbarian - C
-Very simple, very powerful.

Ranger - Java
-Easy to play, very popular, vast collection of abilities that help solve problems quickly.

Wizard - Lisp/Scheme
-Most powerful caster, highest intelligence.

Sorcerer - Haskell
-Slightly less intelligent than a wizard, but makes up for it in charisma.

Rogue - Scripting Languages
-Executes behind your back.

Cleric - SQL
-Revives players when they crash.
 
Paladin - Python
-Easiest to play, but forces you to play a certain way.

I'm no expert, but I think that's what the Loop Macro is for. A Common Lisper is probably going to kill me, but something like this
(loop for i from 1 to 10 do (print i))

And to say that python is adequate for functional programming is bullshit, as it's well known that Guido ‘the benevolent dictator’ van Rossum hates functional programming and attempts to cripple it at every opportunity.
