@drwho i wasn't prepared to like that strip but as both a black metal and lisp fan, that last pane made me feel seen.

@drwho a 17. century symphony?

I find that terminology odd; there is some use of the term 'opera sinfonia' for a type of operatic overture, though I don't even think it was called that before the early 18ct.

But what you'd normally think of as proper symphony is taken to start w Haydn (the "father of the symphony"), in the 2nd half of the 18ct.

@drwho This infographic does not enrage me even a little.

@drwho

8-panel comic.

title: Programming explained with music

each language is in its own panel.
there are drawings of people that match the stereotype for that music genre in each. I'm not gonna bother describing them individually.

PHP is country -- it sucks, but it's everywhere.

Javascript is a one-man band -- it does everything (though it probably shouldn't)

C# is hard rock -- it used to be pretty popular but most people have outgrown it.

CSS is mumble rap -- anyone can do it and it doesn't make you a programmer.

Haskell is jazz -- complex, but incredibly powerful and flexible -- (if you know how to use it.)

Swift is U2 -- you have it because apple gave it to you.

Java is an obscure 17-century symphony -- you have to take a class to know about it.

Lisp is black metal -- no one understands it and its fans make people nervous.

THAT is brilliant...

(but saying that about country could get you beat up in some places near me -- even though it's TRUE)
