I went to looking up quotes and I noticed where language was called out PHP and Perl are explicitly mentioned in derogatory sense, much the way COBOL was many years ago. --- On a different note the two quotes though that I thought were the funniest were;
“It should be noted that no ethically -trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter.”
― Nathaniel S. Borensteinand

I actually do that :laugh:
And it does make sense. Because "one-way" obviously isn't a concept understandable by everyone :laugh: (Besides: Cyclists usually are eligible to use a one-way street in both directions)
