Freebsd Fortunes 6:  736 of 2171

THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #18 -- FIFTH

        FIFTH is a precision mathematical language in which the data types
refer to quantity.  The data types range from CC, OUNCE, SHOT, and JIGGER to
FIFTH (hence the name of the language), LITER, MAGNUM and BLOTTO.  Commands
refer to ingredients such as CHABLIS, CHARDONNAY, CABERNET, GIN, VERMOUTH,
VODKA, SCOTCH, BOURBON, and WHATEVERSAROUND.
        The many versions of the FIFTH language reflect the sophistication and
financial status of its users.  Commands in the ELITE dialect include VSOP and
LAFITE, while commands in the GUTTER dialect include HOOTCH, THUNDERBIRD,
RIPPLE and HOUSERED.  The latter is a favorite of frustrated FORTH programmers
who end up using this language.

THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #5 -- LAIDBACK

        LAIDBACK was developed at the (now defunct) Marin County Center for
T'ai Chi, Mellowness and Computer Programming, as an alternative to the more
intense languages of nearby Silicon Valley.
        The Center was ideal for programmers who liked to soak in hot tubs
while they worked.  Unfortunately, few programmers could survive there long,
since the Center outlawed pizza and RC Cola in favor of bean curd and Perrier.
        Many mourn the demise of LAIDBACK because of its reputation as a
gentle and nonthreatening language.  For example, LAIDBACK responded to
syntax errors with the message SORRY MAN, I JUST CAN'T DEAL BEHIND THAT.

The little girl expects no declaration of tenderness from her doll.
She loves it -- and that's all.  It is thus that we should love.

The little pieces of my life I give to you,
with love, to make a quilt to keep away the cold.

Where all the women are strong,
The men are good-looking,
And the children above-average.

The local minister noticed a little girl standing outside of his
door with a basket of kittens.
        "Hello, little girl, what do you have there?"
        "These are my Democratic kittens," she replied.
Amused, the pastor said nothing.  Two weeks later he saw the same little
girl with (apparently) the same basket of kittens.
        "My, I see you still have your Democratic kittens.", he said.
        "No, you see, these are Republican kittens," she answered.
        "Two weeks ago they were Democratic kittens," he replied, puzzled.
        "Two weeks ago they had their eyes closed."
