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
Delphi
J
Haskell
Smalltalk

obviously you childres know nothing of zen, buddhism, or enlightenment, if you think you can only find satori only in your goofy toy languages

the true student of the way knows that the many paths to enlightenment can be found in everything that surrounds us...

the leaves falling from the  trees
the flow patterns of the traffic on the freeway
the drone of the 737's engine cruising at 35,000 feet
the temple bells at dawn
and etc...

have you read your zen mind, beginner's mind today?
