I was reading the comments to a Slashdot article about Python programmers and I was amused by a comment by a fellow who goes by “DasMegaByte” on his impressions of programming languages and people who use them:
[…] I wonder how else we can pad programmer’s egos based on completely subjective hypothesis on language choice?
- Perl users have more dense social lives.
- Ruby users have big, full beards chicks love to run their hands through.
- VB users have sensible shoes and drive Toyotas.
- C++ users enjoy a good mystery now and then.
- PHP users probably own one or more Dremel multitools.
- Javascripters are full of little trivia snippets and are great fun at parties.
- Cold Fusion users are kind of quiet but have very deep thoughts.
- SQL programmers have annoying laughs but are otherwise okay guys
[…]
My favorite may be his comments on SQL programmers (though the comments on JavaScripters are jovial as well). Still, I’m left wondering if Bryan has a Dremel multitool ;).
