Parable of the Languages
Nothing like a "this has been posted on slashdot" remark to make one ponder even blogging it, but I finally came across and read BurningBird's "The Parable of the Languages."
I liked the parts about C, the witty responses from the programming languages themselves in the comments (although the Python one didn't quite live up to my reverence), and the labeling C# as a "Prince." That works is no many fun ways...
For personal writing, this rocked. I get annoyed when people nit on spelling and grammar errors in comments. Why not email that stuff? Criticize in private, Praise in public... Looking forward to the SQL, myself.
Actually the prequel would be fun also, as they blew past assembly. I suppose C is the cross platform assembly language...and no need bringing platform wars into a language taunt.
