- londubh, on 12/17/2008, -0/+20Old Programmer: "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to zombify thousands of computer is insignificant next to the power of FORTRAN."
Script Kiddie: "Don't try to frighten us with your programmer's ways, old man. Your sad devotion to that ancient computer language has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Spammer's hidden serv...**gack**
Old Programmer: "I find your lack of faith disturbing." - peacefrog249, on 12/16/2008, -0/+14Good, but no Fortran?
...not sure which religion that would be analogous to. Maybe Zoroastarianism- predecessor to the other monotheistic religions. - sfrench, on 12/17/2008, -0/+9and if you program in assembly... you *are* god.
- Apocryphax64, on 12/17/2008, -0/+9C# was done perfectly.
- dilpil1, on 12/16/2008, -0/+9Indeed. Old religion with strange customs that inexplicably pop up in other languages which claim to have no relation to it.
- eliubile, on 12/17/2008, -0/+7Unitarianism :)
- dilpil1, on 12/16/2008, -0/+6In the comments, it is atheism.
- sprint84, on 12/17/2008, -0/+6I'm Islamic according to this article. And if you dare say it isn't right......
- frogslayer, on 12/17/2008, -0/+6so relatively speaking... I am a Humanist living in a Fundamental Christian's world.
- sega01, on 12/17/2008, -0/+4What about Intel-syntax x86 assembler?
I guess I'm a Judaistic Wicca follower. - wolfger, on 12/17/2008, -0/+3Didn't even read TFA. Digging just because of the description of my favorite religion: Perl.
- sbader, on 12/17/2008, -0/+3That's hillarious, and I'm a mormon I guess.
- codeyman, on 12/17/2008, -0/+3I am having an identity crisis.. I work with atleast 3 languages mentioned everyday on a regular basis.
- Mainframeguy, on 12/18/2008, -0/+3Many languages not present- but of those I would have liked to see PASCAL - I believe if you did a wiki search on this you'd find programming languages outnumber religions (no idea what that signifies though). You have no entry for Zoroastrians it springs to mind though....
- bradallen, on 12/20/2008, -0/+2HOOM programming language = Church of the SubGenius
http://www.subgenius.com/subg-digest/v4/0254.html - PatoLucas, on 12/17/2008, -1/+3What about ABAP? technically is like Cobol on steroids
- dixon1e, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2"Worshiping cave drawings that can only be two hand spans wide, and one hand span high."
- gemjeweled, on 01/09/2009, -0/+1Interesting article. What I liked about it is that it presents a good comparison between programming languages and religions.
- JettaMan, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1Basic is missing too, unless you count Visual Basic.
- brookshanes, on 12/16/2008, -4/+5"Pastafarianism" lol
- hostlonestar, on 01/22/2009, -0/+1This cracked me up, then I tried explaining it to my wife....didn't work as planned lol
- djharuko, on 12/16/2008, -1/+1Simple:
"No" - tiliv, on 03/25/2009, -0/+0Beautiful. Exactly what I've thought of Javaists.
- dixon1e, on 01/10/2009, -1/+1C'mon folks, the FSM is as good as anything else listed.
- lonepsycho, on 12/19/2008, -1/+0hmmm i wander... whitch religion represents FORTH... anyway guess it would be just some kind of underground sect... wouldn't it?
- casta, on 12/16/2008, -6/+3Quite funny, but where's Prolog?
- dobrych, on 12/16/2008, -7/+0Where is JavaScript?
