If code were music....

I don't know why this popped in my mind, but on my way home from work, while listening to some music and thinking about some code I starting thinking about comparing the two. If a well written object oriented function were a symphony and an efficient hack - pop, what would rap be? I don't know where this stuff comes from.

So in that case would the programmer be the composer and the compiler the conductor? I was listening to an SSIS package recently where the composer drags and drops all kinds of functionality into the score, could that compare to making techno tunes?

It was a song by Elkie Brookes back in the 70's when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

The 70's are mostly fuzzy to me. Not because of drugs, but mostly because of unfinished synapses. :)

Unfortunately you have forced me to think unpleasant thoughts. The song was also released, either as a 'B' side or album track, can't remember which, by 'He who shall not be named' (Lady in Red, nuff said, nudge, nudge, wink, wink!) Curse you DD. :mad:

Only if the functionality makes no sense ;)

That would be something completely unintelligible like some of Slipknot's songs.

Hey, I love heavy metal /hard rock, but Slipknot? The whole grindcore genre is just painful noise. My opinion

Hey yeah me too! (Must be a coders thing - I tend to find more programmers listen to heavy stuff than non programmers. I have absolutely no facts whatsoever to back up my statements, but, eh, what you gonna do??!) I've actually got some Slipknot CD's - their second album was the best, but now they've gone very soft and gash. Don't listen to them anymore - well, not unless it gets "shuffled" onto :)

How do you write an object oriented function? :doh: As for the original question, rap would probably be something along the lines of useless comments. Good rap would be akin to useless comments infused with sarcasm and wit.

Yeah, it does seem like it. The majority of the devs over here, and this is counting on the numerous times the question "What music do you listen to when you code?", overlap on hard rock/heavy metal. I dunno, I've been going through a classics phase. Mostly classic rock, the stuff my parents grew up on.

But wouldn't COBOL be classical music?
