We need a word for the spasmodic sounds a programmer's brain makes when forced to switch from one programming idiom/problem space to another programming idiom/problem space.
We could call it the  PI/PS->PI'/PS'  resonator index.



Mind you, they are not all the same sounds.


Smalltalk->c    <low dull flops>
c->Smalltalk    <hi pitched "squitches">
* -> svn           <very grotesque, scares the pets>
*->git              <can be fatal> 




I am currently in Smalltalk code with an elderly cat on the desk, so I am ignoring the svn version problem for now.
