"Lisp would be Zen Buddhism" & "Python would be Humanism" I feel strangely peaceful.

  As soon as I saw the title, I knew Lisp would be Zen. I don't think that takes any thought -- regardless of their actual qualities, they have the same mystique.

    I had a slightly different take on it: Scheme as Zen, and CL as Tibetan Buddhism, which has added deities and other more complicated theology back into Buddhism, sort of like the complexity of CL.

      And Arc would be Zn Bdsm: basically the same as Zen Buddhism, only more terse.

        >Bdsm And a little perverse.

        No, Arc would be the short-lived personality cult of a popular Guru.

    Actually I'm more inclined to believe that Forth is Zen Buddhism for the following reasons: * Syntax is an illusion, created by our own subjective definitions of words. * All suffering (stack management trouble) is caused by the desire for and attachment to the worldly concept of variables.
