I love this quote:

"...it uses Smalltalk, rather than modern-day kludges such as Java, which
resembles a modern object-orientated environment in the way that a pub ashtray
resembles a cigar store. (It's also a "highly addictive drug", warn
advocates.)"

The phrase "highly addictive drug" links to Unix Squeak
(http://www-sor.inria.fr/~piumarta/squeak/).

"Good code in perl is fine, but there's something about bad code in perl
that's worse than bad code in other languages, something very HP-Lovecraft-
mad-servants-of-the-elder-gods-chattering-in-the-extradimensional-
insect-language kind of bad that makes my head hurt when I have to read
it." -- Jish Karoshi in comp.lang.ruby
