Well Jac-kok-ring,

(I hope that was intentional and not accidental.  Why?  For if it was
accidental, I probably offended you for making fun of your name.  I don't
want to insult your name, but I can apologize for that in advance, if it is.
However, if it was intentional, then you're just a sick f... for hiding that
in plain sight.  In that case, I owe you nothing.  Maybe, we should just
call you ... Simon ...  Since "wacko" rhymes with "jacko", maybe Simon
Jackson?  Do you like that name?  A made up name like that is one we
_can_ make fun of!  ROFL  ;-)


Anyway, he also forgot C.  It you want to see abstraction look at IOCCC code
sometime.  With C though, you really don't need to even go that far.  All
you need to do is find code by a detail-oriented programmer.  They will have
"abstracted" something via numerous layers of complexities, until it happens
to work.

Of course, it *was* Forth that got the "write once" moniker.  It's not like
Brainfuck is readable.  Of course, there is also INTERCAL for the
ancients...

He also forgot C++ which I think is even worse.

This link is probably best suited to comp.lang.misc.  But, there are almost
no posts there lately.   I've posted more than a few topical issues in reply
to other things...
