I honestly expected the article to start like
Smalltalk, Haskell, and Lisp
...walk into a bar.
Smalltalk: “Bartender, please send an instance of Martini to me - selector withOlive: set to true.”
Haskell: “I’ll take beer >>= chill, but only if it’s defined for all inputs and returns IO ().”
Lisp: “(drink ’(ale (temperature cold))) .”
The bartender mutters, “Great ... an object, a functor, and a list.”
Then a janitor walks by sweeping the closures that they left.

- digitalsankhara 1y agoLike it! After drinking the ale, the FORTH person says "bye".
- ahoka 1y agoA C guy asks for a beer and gets a beer, the second line of the liquor shelf and the contents of the garbage can before they are thrown out of the bar.
