Stel dat programmeertalen auto’s waren, hoe zouden die auto’s er dan uitzien? Makkelijk te besturen en rijden ze een beetje snel? Op deze en andere vragen geeft Mike Vanier antwoord.

Een voorbeeld:

PHP: is the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, it’s bizarre and hard to handle but everybody still wants to drive it.
Nog een voorbeeldje:

Smalltalk is a small car originally designed for people who were just learning to drive, but it was designed so well that even experienced drivers enjoy riding in it. It doesn’t drive very fast, but you can take apart any part of it and change it to make it more like what you wanted it to be. One oddity is that you don’t actually drive it; you send it a message asking it to go somewhere and it either does or tells you that it didn’t understand what you were asking.

Nieuwsgierig naar de rest van de lijst?
