The different languages "speak" to coders:
1) Assembly says, "All I know about is binary bits--if you can't twist your
mind down strange directions you have not yet even imagined--don't bother
me!"
2) Basic says, let's keep it simple, but, I pay attention to data types.
3) Fortran says, "I worship mathematicians--and stand as a tribute to them."
4) Pascal says, "I am structure, form, logic and beauty--if you come back
months later, I stand as clear, sleek, fast and as beautiful as the code you
first created (well, at least TurboPascal says all that grin)."
5) "C/C++" says, "I am all of the above--and MUCH, MUCH more, and like a
spoiled child--you can have your way with me--take care in how you use me."
