The more telling is you omitting the other half of the motto. TIMTOWTDIBSCINABTE
- virgilp 9y ago> TIMTOWTDIBSCINABTE That's an apt motto for perl. One doesn't even need to know what it means.

- bshimmin 9y agoHas anyone been able to do this for PHP's T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM yet? (I know it's not an acronym, but I wish it were.)
- dotandimet 9y agoPAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM isn't an acronym, it's Hebrew for "two dots twice", ie, :: (double colon) I think the two Israeli guys who wrote the first PHP runtime used it either as a private joke or because they couldn't think of how it's called in English.
