Paths to Enlightenment

It's helpful to think of programming languages as paths to enlightenment.

C is being a hermit in the desert. You eat grasshoppers and honey and learn to do everything with what you have.

C++ is self-flagellation locked in your chamber in the monastery. Surely if I try really hard while ignoring the pain, I will be enlightened. Re-examine my beliefs? Laughable! That would show lack of faith.

Python
Java
Lisp

It is only possible to achieve enlightenment through Visual Basic, by becoming so unenlightened that you overflow.
