A language that doesn’t affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing. Alan Perlis All generalizations are bad. R. H. Grenier Der Widerstand gegen die Brutalisierung des Alltags faengt beim Widerstand gegen die Brutalisierung der Sprache an. SZ-Magazin No.28, 2002; Seite 6 Die Sprache ist meine groesste Erfindung ueberhaupt. Mr. Frost, alas der Teufel Die wahren Analphabeten sind jene, die Lesen gelernt haben, es aber nicht tun. Mario Quintana Funzen ist die Sprache derjenigen, die durch solche Wortwahl zu irgendwas gehoeren moechten und in Sein moechten. Wird zu 99% von Kiddies verwendet.

E-mail is respectful of the recipient's time. E-mail keeps a record.

Douglas Adams Nein, meine Lippen sind versiegelt. Schreib' sowieso lieber emails. Steffen Glückselig Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. Ludwig Wittgenstein Rede nicht ueber Leute, sondern mit ihnen! Steffen Glückselig We've always known that dynamic languages are a great way to create "little languages" for specific tasks. But we don't yet fully appreciate that all programming is a continuous process of language invention. And we don't (yet) evaluate programming-language productivity on those terms. .... We are linguistic animals endowed with a protean ability to generate language. Naturally we'll want that same generative power in our programming languages. http://simonwillison.net/2004/Feb/11/codeGeneration/ Dave Thomas You just change a term and they think its better technology. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UYa6gQC14o Larry Ellison
