I saw this on Slashdot this morning and had to laugh. Some guy has compared computer programming languages to world religions.
OK, it may be a little obscure, but anyone with an IT background will definitely find it amusing. The author sums up 40 years of ideological wars in the computer industry in a few paragraphs. And having just been in a meeting yesterday where our CTO mentioned that developing in Perl is "not encouraged" in our organization (we're a bank, after all), I saw the comments on Perl particularly apt. I even chuckled at the comparison of the LDS Church to Microsoft, which makes sense from an ecumenical perspective, if nothing else. ;-)

After reading the comparisons, now I can say I understand programming a little better. I like that it was for the simpleton as well as the IT guru : )
Ok, now that was really funny. Especially the Perl one after my own special experiences with it. :)
