[OT] If programming languages were religions...

Sorry, my phone is a random freudian generator.  I meant revolution not revenue.

I wish people would use the term xtalk when refering to this language its structure and lexicon both come intact from hypercard and smalltalk before that.  Revenue is a great integration synthesis of xtalk and a cross platform runtime engines, but the language is xtalk all the way in.  Seems only fair.  No?

hmmmm....

Revolution is like Jehovah Witnesses. Made up of a relatively small 
albeit stable and friendly community of followers and controlled by a 
small company Revolution somehow resists the power of mainstream beliefs 
with large evil corporations behind. Although well known for its 
pacifistic attitudes, it cherishes a hope since the very establishment 
that this evil World is moving to the end, and the Revolution is going 
to dominate the New World soon. Believing the God's name has to be 
written and pronounced using rules of the English language, its 
followers read and interpret the Scripts literally. However this might 
have raised some doubts about the trustworthiness of the word about 
Revolution because of experiences caused by diverse national, linguistic 
and religious identities. The partisans of Revolution strongly believe 
that many dogmas and assumptions of mainstream religions are incorrect 
interpretations, bad habits and even superstitions. Meanwhile adherents 
of the mainstream religions usually look at revolutionists "from above". 
However the later tend to became converted after just a few days of 
"hands on" experience with Revolution.

sorry, I could not resist to write one more, as it was also missing from 
the original list of languages :-)

Assembly - the language in which the Universe has been created. Mastered 
only by the God himself. Currently known and used by ascended beings or 
inspired humans, and unfortunately, also demons and dark mags. While the 
former can do miracles with it, the dark side adherents use their 
knowledge to corrupt the World.
