Is there a special significance to the Java / Python / Ruby / C# representations? I feel like I missed the joke here, even though I enjoyed the strip as a whole.
- uxp 9y agoI took it to mean that Java/Python/Ruby/C# were "old tools" with flaws (bugs), but LISP is a tool for the future.
- flavio81 9y agoJava as a tank - that is, slow (in development time) although resilient and all-terrain Python as a helicopter - far more manuverable but slower than a plane and easier to take down C# as a plane, fast and carries more cargo than an helicopter. Ruby like some sort of convoluted laser beam weapon Lisp dialects (on the strip) are all spaceships done using "secret alien technology". Even then, the insectoids are harder to kill than back in the 80s! What will the human+lispers alliance do? Read the strip for knowning what happens next!
