Petition to outlaw programming languages

[Thornik]

hehe :) Why? Ruby is like OOP Perl. It's dynamic and also has its own niche. May be not for serious Web-development, but for scripting - why not? Java - hell knows... I have no sympathy for this simplistic language, but at least it's OOP and allows mediocres write acceptable programs. It's not evil, definitely :)

How are you going to outlaw protected speech? Code is expression/speech, pretty much already established. If you don't like a language, then don't use it. If your job requires it, find a better job for yourself, let those of us who would like it, have that job. As an aside, who came up with this **STUPID** idea, anyway? The FBI? :doh:
