Countries vs. Programming Languages

[recoder]

• African click language communities = Punch cards
  — Click Click Clack Click Clack -> 11010 
• Mongolia = RPG
  — The ancient empire
• Aztecs = Lisp
  — Was once the most advanced but then got completely lost. We’ve been re-inventing it ever since
• China = Logowriter
  — It’s been around forever and you only do what Logowriter allows you. Turn 90 degrees right. Now.
• Vietnam = Assembly
  — Third world concepts that are much more efficient than a Big War Machine.
• Khazakstan = Cobol
  
• Israel = Scheme
  — Generally acknowledged as intrinsically powerful, despite its small size, but also because of the ideas it has generated. Strong idealistic or religious attachment for some; often viewed with antagonism by others. Language not mainstream but ancestor to many others. Very specific cultural appeal
• England = Smalltalk
  — Where most of civilized culture comes from.
• Canada = Ada
  — Structured, friendly, bureaucratic, what could be more Canadian?
• Sweden = Erlang
  — One word: Ericsson (and the cold)
• Hungary = Haskell
  — Because no one understands hungarian
• Ireland = Prolog
  — Both use weird logic
• France = Pascal
  — Pascal’s nationality not withstanding, who else tells you how you should be using their language more than the Academie Francaise?
• Germany = C
  — The most ruthlessly efficient
• Austria = C++
  — The people still speak German but they’re a bit friendlier
• India = PHP
  — Finally coming into the civilized world but still mostly used as a cheap hack
• Poland = Delphi
  — Was once great but its space had been invaded by others
• USA = Java
  — What other country has such a large bureaucracy with such a huge number of loopholes and inconsistencies?
  — Called a War On C but no one knows why
• Switzerland = C#
  — All they really want to do is make money.
• Japan = Ruby
  — By far the most advanced, at the forefront of the cutting edge. Also insane.
• South Korea = Python
  — Just as advanced in Ruby in most ways, and its rival.
• Vatican City = XML
  — XML isn’t really a language but that’s ok because Vatican City isn’t really a country.
  — Declares reality to be whatever it wants it to be.

Спасибо, понравилось :)))

Да, кстати, в моей компании C# является промышленным стандартом разработки _всех_ десктопных приложений :) Хотя на серверах используется и Java, и C++. Smalltalk не заметил (возможно, потому, что банк - швейцарский)

Having the worked with Indians I do understand their worries here….

In Sweden we only use Erlang when building crucial applications (like the microcontroller apps for our coffee machines), most of the time we tend to use Whitespace, Unlambda or Brainf..k for our large scale projects.


Я лежал..... :-)))))
