Poll: If Yoda was a programmer, what would be his go-to language?
What would Yoda program in?
- dmux 12y agoWhy isn't Perl listed?
- deleted 12y ago[deleted]
- levosmetalo 12y agoIt would be Forth, as his backward talk sounds pretty much like a RPN version of human language.
- agumonkey 12y agoCame to say Lisp because of http://xkcd.com/297/ http://xkcd.com/297/ but Forth gets ex-aequo.

- Ardeof 12y agoFor(ce)tran
- Pishky 12y agoHaskell for me I like the most. Hmmmmmm
- jordhy 12y agoDefinitely Lisp. That's where the force is.
- Tarang 12y agoI'd imagine any language which is multi threaded and with plenty of race conditions, because he'd code that perfectly knowing it would work fine.
- higherpurpose 12y agoAssembly, for using "raw force" and thinking about the fundamental principles of everything.
- Uncompetative 12y agodo or do not where is no try catch exception
- cgriswald 12y agoProgram? Yoda would do whatever he needed to do by flipping bits in real time using the force.
- zserge 12y agoIf it is C - he would write "if (42 == answer) ... " instead of "if (answer == 42) ..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoda_conditions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoda_conditions
- gghootch 12y agoDefinitely Assembly. Luke: There's something not right here... I feel cold. Death. Yoda: [points to a cave opening beneath a large tree] That place... is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go. Luke: What's in there? Yoda: Only what you take with you.
- smaudet 12y agoYou forgot Clojure Luke - Java ; Qui-Gon Jinn - C++ ; Obi-Wan Kenobi - Perl ; Ki-Adi Mundi - Assembly ; Mace-Windu - C ; Count Duku - D ; Anakin Skywalker - Python ; Aayala Secura - Haskell ; Darth Maul - Ocaml ; Darth Vader - TypeScript ; The Emperor - C# ; And while we're codifying Star Wars: Imperial Trooper - Microsoft Word Rebel Soldier - MarkDown Han Solo - Counter Strike Leia - Matlab (maybe) Boba/Jango Fett (both of them) - Metasploit Chewbacca - Worms C3P0 - Siri R2D2 - info
- cl8ton 12y agoC# obviously... do I win anything?
- jqm 12y agoThe poll left out the obvious choice. Binary. "Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda (and presumably no "except" block either"). Edit: reading the comments it appears someone beat me to the try-except joke.
- mindcrime 12y agoBrainfuck he would program.
- sumitviii 12y agoIts verbose.
- ksmithbaylor 12y agoGo, because out-of-normal-order the type declarations are.
- KhalilK 12y agoAvoid null behavior, Yoda will. Java it is.
- bitwize 12y agoStrong with the Forth Yoda would be. YODA TALK-LIKE IF FORTH USE THEN
- StephenGL 12y agoWhat? No Object Pascal?
- galvanist 12y agoSomething about the old MIT AI koans convinces me that yoda would be a lisp hacker; http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_koan http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_koan
