Blub programmer telling why you should program in Blub.

• Peaker 15y ago
  Almost everyone is a Blub programmer, including pg who coined the term: The interesting thing about Blub programmers is that they do not know they are Blub programmers.

    Indeed. Python is my Blub; it's just so darn easy and it has enough functional capabilities that I haven't yet felt compelled to throw out everything I know and start with Haskell or Clojure.

    The interesting thing about Blub programmers is that they do not know they are Blub programmers. Even more interesting: Even those who know about the above phenomenon and make meta-comments on it are Blub programmers and do not know that they don't know this. </mega-irony>

      I am a Haskell programmer, and aware of the more powerful abstractions available in Agda and similar languages. So I am aware of my Blubness :-) But I try to keep up to date with regards to PL technologies, so I think I'm closer to the top of the contemporary Blub ladder, but I guess any Blub programmer might think that!

        Darn iPad! That was meant to be </meta-irony> My Blub is Smalltalk, and I'm proud to claim it as such.
