Haiku

[edit] Aaron Halfaker

Programming language
Did you finish your homework?
C ate my baby

Abstract syntax trees
They cut the crap from parse trees
I learn things in class

Shift-reduce conflicts
Yaks feed on them in the wild
Mmm grammar errors

Odwalla is cheap
Naked is a lot better
Jamba Juice is best

Languages are low
Programmers think high-level
This gap sucks a lot

Libraries raise levels
but they do not get type checked
turn your damn music off

Domain specific
languages can be checked
SQL is great

ML Yak hates me
It's not shift-reduce conflict!
Don't you lie to me

Skeptic should chill out
let the man finish his talk
Ask questions later
