/prog/ - 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
Assembly

i guess that LISPer thinks it's the case because Elisp is Lisp-1, even though he probably doesn't know that term.

There is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.

Try not to be so hateful and biased, lisptard.
Make it funny, but funny to more than the lisp faithful.

If philosophers were programmers then there would be absolutely no code ever written.
They would just sit on their asses all day pondering the meaning of int and just generally be useless blowhard twats
