Pretty well done joke.  I particularly enjoyed his treatment of
 Prolog and PHP.

Basic could be an AK-47. For all its variants, limitations and
incompatibilities, it could still do a job.

 Sadly, a bit of a disappointment in the humour department compared to
the "If OSes/Programming languages were like cars" usenet posting that
was posted over 2 decades back.

 I'm fairly certain I kept a copy of it somewhere but can't find it
right now. Googling for it gets me "Close, but no cigar!" :-(

There's also the classic about all the different languages aid you in
shooting your foot off.  I've got that one, if anyone needs it.  I
collect that stuff, add it into fortune, and have one pop up in an
xmessage window when I log in.

Disagree with one, the Garand was not as dependable as the
Winchester it `replaced', according to old guys I heard. Its 
main feature was using up a units ammunition as fast as possible.
