What does that make javascript then?
My guess is that JavaScript is Zensunni: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zensunni#Zensunni.
Dumb article. Judaism and C are about as opposite as you can get. Judaism's texts (the bible and the Talmud) are famously convoluted, contradictory, debated, etc. C is one of the cleanest languages.
And, Taoism is more like Forth.

I had a slightly different take on it: Scheme as Zen, and CL as Tibetan Buddhism, which has added deities and other more complicated theology back into Buddhism, sort of like the complexity of CL.
And Arc would be Zn Bdsm: basically the same as Zen Buddhism, only more terse.

Using the words PERL and productive without a not qualifier in the same sentence opens up some sort of alternate universe time warp that is so dangerous it should be avoided at all costs.
If you don't think Perl is a productive language, then you have never been a UNIX system administrator.

Javascript would be some kind of new-agey pop religion. It looks at first like Christianity or Judaism, but it somehow brings in funky zen concepts like lambdas and prototype chains. No one really took it seriously, then one day, it was just everywhere . No two implementations are quite the same, and most people do it horribly.
So, Astrology?
1. Everyone knows it a little, but few actually use it for much, and hardly anyone really understands it.
2. A lot of the ideas came out of old tribal warfare, and was only standardized relatively recently.
3. People who do it full time are WAY overpaid. ;)
his comments on C are completely unfounded. C's type coercion means you can ram all sorts of things into places they aren't supposed to go. typecasting says to me that there is nothing orthodox about C at all. if anything it is modern protestantism, a faith that lets you ram in whatever you want, but one wrong move and you go to hell (segfault)
If hell is segfault, then Heaven must be a memory leak?
