Found this over on digg.com, and I thought it'd be worth while to share here. http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/ten-commandments.html The annotations are funny, but truthful. "A null pointer points to regions filled with dragons, demons, core dumps, and numberless other foul creatures, all of which delight in frolicing in thy program if thou disturb their sleep." - EricAnderton at yahoo

Nice! A variation on the theme might be Dante's (Commedia) Inferno, and all the sins borne therein? Malebolge (circle 8) would be a prime candidate for a raft of programming sins <g> Circle One - Those in limbo Circle Two - The lustful Circle Three - The gluttonous Circle Four - The hoarders Circle Five - The wrathful Circle Six - The heretics Circle Seven - The violent Ring 1. Murderers, robbers, and plunderers Ring 2. Suicides and those harmful to the world Ring 3. Those harmful against God, nature, and art, as well as usurers Circle Eight - The Fraudulent Bowge (Trench) I. Panderers and Seducers Bowge II. Flatterers Bowge III. Simoniacs Bowge IV. Sorcerers Bowge V. Barrators Bowge VI. Hypocrites Bowge VII. Thieves Bowge VIII. Counselors Bowge IX. Sowers of Discord Bowge X. Falsifiers Circle Nine - Traitors Region i: Traitors to their kindred Region ii: Traitors to their country Region iii: Traitors to their guests Region iv: Traitors to their lords Anyone up for having a go at these?

In article <dpmqhr$1snc$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Kris says...Okay, I'll bite. Remember, its all in good fun. ;)Circle One - Those in limboThose who fail to heed the rules of multithreaded programming, are doomed to deadlock for eternity.Circle Two - The lustfulAsm programmers are simply in love with performance, and little else. ;)Circle Three - The gluttonousThis one's full of web-developers for some reason - Java web applet programmers. - Php programmers - the API is so sprawling that it takes *two* web browsers to code with it. - Macromedia for making ColdFusion worse than it was... Lets take a not-quite-XML tag-based language (with embedded HTML, CSS and ECMA-script), with its own crippled ECMA-script-like language, run it through a Java-based compiler that emits side-effect prone Java code, to be compiled *again* into Java bytecode that then runs on a VM to serve a webpage, then reccomend that it be run on the crippled and crash-prone JRun webserver. Its resource cost can be calculated in Megawatt-hours per sacrificed chickens, just for a single developer workstation. (Not that I've used it or anything)Circle Four - The hoarders- Lisp programmers [are hogging all the parentheses]. - Anyone who doesn't close their file handles responsibly.Circle Five - The wrathfulVirus writers.Circle Six - The heretics- VB Programmers *and* VBScript virus writers. - According to the C++ guys: us.Circle Seven - The violent- Perl programmers (if looks could kill). - Whoever was involved with crafting MSVC6's template support (this has sent many a C++ developer into a murderous frenzy).Circle Eight - The Fraudulent- Python pundits: a language with a global interpreter syncronization lock, that effectively serializes all object-based operations, is *not* truely multi-threaded.Circle Nine - TraitorsThat depends: - According to the .Net guys: Managed C++ programmers. - According to the Java guys: .Net programmers. - According to the Fortran guys: Fortran98 programmers. - According to the C++ guys: us.
