The Tao of Programming
June 15th, 2006
The Tao gave birth to machine language.
Machine Language gave birth to the assembler.
The assembler gave birth to the compiler.
Now there are ten thousands languages.
Each language has its purpose, however humble.
Each language expresses the yin and yang of software.
Each language has its place within the Tao.
But do not progam in Cobol if You can avoid it.
