Ruby:

%{I would point out there is a big difference between "programming" and "coding"
and what people call programming today is little more than scripting.
What tends to happen over time is a large scale de-skilling and job title
and task renaming that seems designed to hide the widespread de-skilling.
How many companies employ "systems analysts" these day I wonder?
And what do they do in between toilet breaks.}.downcase.scan(/[\w-]+/).

Nobody knows what jim is talking about because nobody
knows what he means by "programming", "coding", or "scripting".

Let's see if he can perform this task in Forth by
"programming", "coding", or "scripting".

Don't hold your breath.
