Programming Languages are Like Cars
Assembler: A formula I race car. Very fast but difficult to drive and
maintain.
FORTRAN II: A Model T Ford. Once it was the king of the road.
FORTRAN IV: A Model A Ford.
FORTRAN 77: a six-cylinder Ford Fairlane with standard transmission and no
seat belts.
COBOL: A delivery van. It's bulky and ugly but it does the work.
BASIC: A second-hand Rambler with a rebuilt engine and patched upholstery.
Your dad bought it for you to learn to drive. You'll ditch it as soon as you
can afford a new one.
PL/I: A Cadillac convertible with automatic transmission, a two-tone paint
job, white-wall tires, chrome exhaust pipes, and fuzzy dice hanging in the
windshield.
C++: A black Firebird, the all macho car. Comes with optional seatbelt
(lint) and optional fuzz buster (escape to assembler).
ALGOL 60: An Austin Mini. Boy that's a small car.
ALGOL 68: An Aston Martin. An impressive car but not just anyone can drive
it.
Pascal: A Volkswagon Beetle. It's small but sturdy. Was once popular with
intellectual types.
LISP: An electric car. It's simple but slow. Seat belts are not available.
PROLOG/LUCID: Prototype concept cars.
FORTH: A go-cart.
LOGO: A kiddie's replica of a Rolls Royce. Comes with a real engine and a
working horn.
APL: A double-decker bus. It takes rows and columns of passengers to the
same place all at the same time but it drives only in reverse and is
instrumented in Greek.
Ada: An army-green Mercedes-Benz staff car. Power steering, power brakes,
and automatic transmission are standard. No other colors or options are
available. If it's good enough for generals, it's good enough for you.
Java: All-terrain very slow vehicle.
