Java is Homoiconic

The language itself is the same over-engineered bullshit as the programs that are written in it.

Sometimes, you’re on a team, and you’re busy banging out the code, and somebody comes up to your desk, coffee mug in hand, and starts rattling on about how if you use zigomorphic monoidal types, your app will be 34% sparklier, and it’s not even that hard, because he’s written a bunch of monads, and all you have to do is recursive subtype from 17 of his typeclasses, each taking an average of 4 type constructors, and you barely even have to write the body of the function. It’s just a gigantic list of multiple-inference from different polytypes and hey, presto, polymorphic monoidal type. And your eyes are swimming, and you have no friggin’ idea what this frigtard is talking about, but he just won’t go away, and even if he does go away, he’s just going back into his office to write more of his clever types constructed entirely from multiple differential polytypes, without a single line of concrete code at all, and it’s going to crash like crazy and you’re going to get paged at night to come in and try to figure it out because he’ll be at some goddamn “Functi-anal Programmin” meetup.
