Every day we drift further from god.

  lol. Perfect articulation of something I couldnt verbalize.

  I'm not picking on your metaphor, but I don't understand it either. Mind elaborating?
  • unnouinceput 7y ago
    It's a meme, not a metaphor. Though you can argue that a meme is at its core a metaphor, in this case you're better off trying to understand this specific meme, it's quite funny.

    It isn't meant literally. It is another way of saying that using FORTRAN for this kind of work is unholy. And of course "unholy" is itself a metaphor for something which should not be allowed.

    Drifting further from god is a metaphor for moving closer to hell. He is implying that developing for the web using FORTRAN is moving us closer to existing in hell.

    Thanks for posting this! I was about to say "it could be worse: it could be COBOL". Especially since every couple of months someone posts an enthusiastic article about COBOL and people get intrigued by it and I feel it's my God-mandated duty to warn them about its mind-numbing unholiness. COBOL-ON-COGS is hilarious though.

  Every day we drift further from God. To my mindset, this brings us closer. GOD = ASSEMBLER .AND. FORTRAN .GT. NODE.JS

  God is real (unless declared integer).
  • kreetx 7y ago
    Since integer means undividable then he must be both.

  In the projective geometry of our world (R3 X god) moving away from the god is just coming to him from the other side.
