may I have a funny interlude between another set of bashing?

I must say that I don't really get the joke with FORTH, or with Smalltalk 
(assuming that's peewee herman or something?)  The others were quite amusing.

Looks like Bill Nye (keeps with the rest of the chart generally pairing 
similar characters...in this case, SCIENCE! dudes)

It's the Unabomber, right?  A lone guy all alone fighting the tech 
world?  sounds kinda fitting... :P

yeah, I don't get that either.  I liked the borg for Clojure (CL'ers are 
in deep hate for it right now) and Doc Brown the stereotypical mad 
scientist for Haskell. :D

I've worked with a few languages that are so obscure that the only 
appropriate image would be a black box (Coursewriter, anyone? No? Providex? 
Hmm? Ah well...)

They missed the language that I use most at work these days, though 
(VB.NET). From discussions I've had with other programmers who don't use it 
(and don't know what it is, because they can't get past the "B" word), I 
think one of these might be the preferred image:

It's a measure of time travelling through monads.

I vote on this one. :)

Ah, I get it now. Very droll.

If it's Bill Nye, then I guess the idea was Smalltalk was a big research 
project from PARC, so a scientific experiment in that sense?

Yep. Assimilation rules!

With the added fun of lazy evaluation and pure functional languages standign 
in for time travel.

It's not that erlang is munchkins, but the lollipop guild in particular. 
I.e., the chorus-line of munchkins.

Both a bit different (caption in french), but bigger

Ah yes... Should have looked more closely. :-)

For some reason, I have trouble getting my head around Erlang. I use Wings 
3D a lot, and I've got a wishlist of about 20 or so features for it. From 
time to time, I think, "Well, just get the source code and write 'em!" Then, 
I get the language specs, look at the code, and my brain says, "No, go do 
something else. I'm not doing this right now." Ah well... someday, perhaps.

That was actually my first programming experience, in high school. We had a 
terminal in our school (as did four other schools) hooked to an IBM 
something or other at the school admin office downtown. If you had your math 
homework done in time, you could get on the computer and run a program (the 
Baccarat game was popular). I was the sort of geek who always worked ahead, 
so I got on the computer a lot. One day, I complained that the game was 
"stupid" and "broke" (I was also a very obnoxious kid; I'm sure I've 
outgrown that...). The teacher went to the filing cabinet, dropped the 
Coursewriter manuals onto the desk in front of me, and said, "So... fix it." 
That was in about 1976, and I don't think I've gone a day without coding 
something or other since. :-D

Monads may let you borrow the future, but you MUST NOT come face to face 
with your future self. Why, it could cause a temporal paradox that could 
UNRAVEL THE VERY FABRIC OF THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM!

Alternatively, maybe the damage would be limited to only locking up one 
CPU core until somebody sends a SIGKILL...

  That has been clearly changed to French. I wonder where the original one
at that full resolution is.

  But the full resolution version does convey the idea better.

we clearly have opposite sense of humor.  Post some sad news that I may 
give a laugh.
