I'm not a programmer, so the jokes are above my head somewhat.

I enjoyed the APL reference. APL: a language only an actuary could love.

Spot on. Brilliant stuff.

C#, very funny. Microsoft's attempt to enter a java world that it couldn't control.
Perl, pure evil. You can write a program that controls a missile shield defense system in 25 lines of code that is impossible to understand a week later.

I work almost exclusively in C++ and python, Islam and Humanism. Hmm....
No Fortran though.....
although a poster labels it Greco-Roman pantheon.

I was playing ball with a guy who does programming. I was telling him about this article and I said "Mormonism was C number sign." He laughed and said "C sharp, never say what you said again in front of anyone."

we programmers call the little wiggly thing in the back of your throat 'the little wiggly thing in the back of your throat', so it all evens out.

I run a 'Mormon' shop, I guess.

preface each conversation with "sha bang English" and your ball buddy will be impressed.
