i found this on the net,i found it funny:

Programming languages
\"BASIC - A programming language. Related to certain social diseases in that those who have it will not admit it in polite company.\"
\"Pascal keeps your hand tied. C gives you enough rope to hang yourself.\"
[edit]
Java
\"Saying that Java is nice because it works on all OS\'s is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders\" - \"Alanna\" [2]
\"Wanted: Expert Java programmers, 5+ years experience.\" - Posted in 1998 (Java\'s first public release was made in 1995)
\"Java is C++ without the guns, knives, and clubs\" - James Gosling, co-inventor of Java
[edit]
Fortran
\"Consistently separating words by spaces became a general custom about the tenth century A.D., and lasted until about 1957, when FORTRAN abandoned the practice.\" - Sun FORTRAN Reference Manual
\"You can tell how far we have to go, when FORTRAN is the language of supercomputers\" - Steven Feiner
\"FORTRAN was the language of choice for the same reason that three-legged races are popular\" - Ken Thompson (in \"Reflections on Trusting Trust\")
\"God is Real, unless declared Integer\" - J.Allan Toogood, FORTRAN programmer
In FORTRAN, undeclared variables are typed according to their first letter, \"God\" would be a real number.
\"In the good old days physicists repeated each other\'s experiments, just to be sure. Today they stick to FORTRAN, so that they can share each other\'s programs, bugs included.\" - Edsger Dijkstra
[edit]
C/C++
\"... one of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.\" - Robert Firth
\"C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.\" - Dennis M. Ritchie
\"C++: an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog.\" - Steve Taylor
\"A C program is like a fast dance on a newly waxed dance floor by people carrying razors.\" - Waldi Ravens
\"The C Programming Language - A language which combines the flexibility of assembly language with the power of assembly language.\"
Alternately: \"The C Programming Language - A language which combines the flexibility and power of assembly language with the readability and maintainablity of assembly language.\"

\"Fifty years of programming language research, and we end up with C++ ???\" - Richard A. O\'Keefe
\"C++: Hard to learn and built to stay that way.\"
\"Without C we only have Obol, Pasal and BASI.\"
\"Java is, in many ways, C++--.\" - Michael Feldman
\"Writing in C or C++ is like running a chain saw with all the safety guards removed.\" - Bob Gray
\"The evolution of languages: FORTRAN is a non-typed language. C is a weakly typed language. Ada is a strongly typed language. C++ is a strongly hyped language.\" - Ron Sercely
\"In C++ it\'s harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg.\" - Bjarne Stroustrup
\"C gives you enough rope to hang yourself.\"
\"C++: where friends have access to your private members.\"
\"Within C++, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get out.\" - Bjarne Stroustrup, The Design and Evolution of C++
c++; /* this makes c bigger but returns the old value */
\"I\'ve been able to use C for just about everything someone else would use C++ for. The problem is translating templates into #defines, which makes the C code unwieldingly hairy.\" - Gregory Pietsch
\"Templates are in C++ for one reason only: to frustrate the indent program.\" - Gregory Pietsch

Hehe! That tickled me in a way that if Lorretta tickled me in that way I'd say mmm.. that's nice.. (If anybody watches Family Guy as obessively as me they'll get this!).

I've never really understood why FORTRAN is hated so much, as far as I can tell it's pretty much BASIC!

why every time there is a " or ' there's a / with it?
ie:

it happens when you edit your post. Slashes are added to prevent text being interpreted as commands by the database.

that would sound right to me, but, he didn't edit his message :/

Yes he did... see the [edit] tags all over the post?

yeah, i saw those, but I don't see "Edited: 13th Oct 2005 XX:XX" or whatever

its straight from a website and i was too lazy to clean it up a bit.

I am glad some experts share my opinions of C/C++, hardest work I ever did for the least result.

I hate the Pascal syntax...

agreed,thought im not good at programming ( getting better thought),everyone keeps saying how much faster c++ is but would you really notice it,ive seen some good db games and most commercial games are prob c++ but i think it all comes down to the programmers skill.ive played some retail games that have been badly coded,farcry for instance,what could have been a good game was let down buy the fact you needed bug spray for the whole thing...and that was a commercial company.doom was written in c++,ive seen many doom clones in basic that was just as good (bearing in mind doom is old).

one other funny quote on another site:

scientist strive to build better and more powerful idiot proof software,the universe strives to build more improved idiots...the universe is winning.

Pascal is actually not too bad, it forces you into a set style, but at least it makes sense, not like COBOL, the Nazi war criminal of programming languages.

In fact, please add this:
'COBOL; It sells drugs to little kids'


Van-B

Yeah, just that this isn't Pascal*.



* I know it wasn't supposed to be Pascal.

If we truely make something idiot proof... only idiots will want to use it.

Awesome! I need to get that on a T-Shirt.



Not including to frustrate the programmers! Templates are amazing, yet hard to learn how to make sense of :-P
