I'm as old as PC.

Damn. Now I feel young. I'm 17 and in high school, currently on summer vacation. I start my internship Thursday, and I have summer work for English, AP Physics, and AP Government to do as well.

LOL looks like PC reign as champion on the oldest forefront so far

obligatory xkcd:


Alt text: This is how I explain computer problems to my cat. My cat usually seems happier than me.

moving onto programming joke about humor (this one is in Java, I find that statically typed languages fair best for getting the point across):

Emotion em = emotionMap.get("Humor");
em.invoke();

ok, covered all my bases.

I think you mean explicitly typed languages. If Java had type inference, that wouldn't look any different than the same thing in a dynamic language.

Obligatory Clojure example: ((emotion-map "Humor"))

EDIT: Obviously, it would look like that. That uses higher order functions and not OOP. If I could remember Ruby, I'd provide a Ruby example. I need to re-learn Ruby.

You would be correct! Statically typed would just mean it was checked at compile time where as explicit typing would mean there were explicit type annotations.

In Ruby it would most likely just be a hash like this:

em = emotionMap["Humor"]

I feel your pain. Don't know about you but that class was the death of me a couple years back

That's actually what the Clojure example was too. emotion-map is a hashmap, and hashmaps are also functions that look up their argument within themselves and return the value at that key or nil if it doesn't exist. Since I was assuming that the value at the key "Humor" is a function, the outer parens call that function.

I love you. <3
