  • If programming languages were religions...

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

And for Sine (and well, I like Perl too even though I don't have his expertise)
<strong>Perl</strong> would be <strong>Voodoo</strong> - An incomprehensible series of arcane incantations that involve the blood of goats and permanently corrupt your soul. Often used when your boss requires you to do an urgent task at 21:00 on friday night.

Haha.
Visual Basic would be Satanism - Except that you don't REALLY need to sell your soul to be a Satanist...
