Shooting yourself in the foot in various programming languages
,----[ Quote ]
| The proliferation of modern programming languages (all of which seem to
| have stolen countless features from each other) sometimes makes it
| difficult to remember which language you're using. This guide is offered
| as a public service to help programmers in such dilemmas.
|
|
| # C#
|
| * You shoot yourself in the foot, but first have to switch to
| unsafe mode.
| * You forget precisely how to use the .NET interface and shoot
| yourself in the foot. You sue Microsoft for damages.
|
| [...]
|
| # .NET
|
| * You can now shoot yourself in the foot with any of fourteen
| weapons, ranging from an antique medieval crossbow to a laser-guided
| Destructo-Beam. However, all these weapons must be manufactured by
| Microsoft and you must pay Microsoft royalties every time you shoot
| yourself in the foot.
|
| [...]
|
| # Visual Basic
|
| * You'll only appear to have shot yourself in the foot, but you'll
| have so much fun doing it you won't care.
| * You do a Google search on how to shoot yourself in the foot
| using Visual Basic. You find seventeen completely different ways to do
| it, none of which are properly structured. You paste the first example
| into the IDE and compile. It brushes your teeth.
