> we watch Ronaldo doing things on the pitch Hmmm... Lionel Messi does crazy things you never thought were possible. He's Lisp. Gareth Bale has few fancy tricks, but does what he does very well, and often relies on pure speed - C. Joey Barton is good, but has a bad reputation and a sordid history - Fortran? Etc :-)

I wonder which Ronaldo he meant. I can't quite get over the moody, cheating side of Cristiano Ronaldo to appreciate his abilities. Having a Cristiano Ronaldo as a developer would be a bloody nightmare. It'd be like having a co-worker who turned in some inspired code, but who lied, stole, picked fights and was generally a chore to be around. I hope he meant Brazil's Ronaldo circa 2002 :)

  Of course I meant Brazil's Ronaldo...what kind of sports fan do you think I am? :)

    ... A Real Madrid fan?

    Aha the author. I enjoyed your article, but I might be biased as I love football and I quite like C!

You know your soccer my friend ... but you left out Java. I'd say that's like Miroslav Klose ... big, strong, not particularly fast or lovely to watch but damned good at putting away goals when it matters. surprisingly so.

  I like that about Klose :-) I disagree about Barton - which language consistently repeats past mistakes and is liable to stab you in the eye?

  Many people want to leave out Java, that's probably why Klose is currently a substitute.
