I don't think it was meant to be believable. It was a parody. Also it seemed a bit autobiographical of Charlie Brooker to me (he was an anonymous internet critic first, then continuing criticizing the media that now pays him (TV wipe,

Also for unbound methods to make them usable as functions. Python: func = Foo.method JavaScript: var func = Function.prototype.call.bind(Foo.prototype.method);

> click-to-play add-ons like Flashblock You don't need an add-on for that. Firefox and Chrome both have this as an optional built-in feature. I think it should be on by default (which it sadly isn't).

I would like to know that as well. The strictness and cleanliness of Rust reminds me more of Python than of Ruby. Not to say that Go is messy or anything, Ruby on the other hand...

Maybe it has something to do with the browsers displaying the images progressively as they are loaded. Maybe the hardware decoders don't support that? That's guessed.

C99 has a builtin complex type. "double complex" (similar to "unsigned int"). Of course all arithmetic operators are defined for that type. Example: http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/view?id=0d295064bd367

All the languages you list maybe except for Lisp are basically the same. They are all imperative, some of them are object orientated. If you understand e.g. C++, you should understand any of the others with not much effort. Really different
