Don't forget Atwood's law:
"Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript."
- BerislavLopac 8y agoOr Greenspun's Tenth Rule of Programming: Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of CommonLisp.
- cheez 8y agoaka JavaScript.
- jacobush 8y agoI suppose you mean that half manifests itself as Javascript.
- tabtab 8y agoA mutant variation of this: Greencodd's Rule: "Every sufficiently complex application/language/tool will either have to use a database or reinvent one the hard way." (from c2.com)
- tabtab 8y agoVariation 2: If you factor duplication heavily and go ultra-meta, you'll end up with Lisp or a clone of Lisp. However, only Lisps fans will be able to understand the code.
- neilk 8y agoI encountered a literal version of this the other day. I’ve been looking at some disused AI systems, which were all written in Lisp back in the day. In an attempt to remain relevant, at one point in the early 2000s someone tried porting one of them to Java. By first writing a Lisp interpreter in early 2000s Java. So the system had all the old dynamic Lisp programs as giant strings, embedded in a fugly static class hierarchy.
- flambard 8y agoAnd then there is Virding's First Rule of Programming: Any sufficiently complicated concurrent program in another language contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Erlang.
