Programming is not all the same. Normal written languages have different rhythms and idioms, right? Well, so do programming languages. The language called C is all harsh imperatives, almost raw computer-speak.

The language called Erlang is just like it sounds: eccentric and Scandinavian. — Robin Sloan

As such, real lovers seem inferior as a result. — Todd Vickers
