Reminds me of `break rust;` causing the Rust compiler to emit an internal compiler error. I wonder which other languages have similar easter eggs.

  > The Stardate time format had nothing to do with Sun. I added it to Tcl while working at Scriptics, as an easter egg for the then-upcoming Tcl2K Conference. One of the conference events was a competition to implement a standard-to-stardate conversion utility, using an arcane formula. Only one guy entered the event. He spent a couple hours agonizing over the implementation (as he was looking for a job at Scriptics, he was eager to impress) only to have the easter egg revealed afterwards. Of course he won the competition anyway. And he got the job, too. – Eric Melski

    > error: internal compiler error: It looks like you're trying to break rust; would you like some ICE? Lovely, and the word game is just great.

This one in Haskell is coincidental, but used as a joke: ``` import Data.Function main = do let it = fix error print it ```

  On HN, you can add code blocks by indenting with 2 spaces: import Data.Function main = do let it = fix error print it
