I thought a group of Java programmers should be called a "wank", a group of C programmers a "claustrophobe", a collection of COBOL programmers an "anachronism", a collection of C++ programmers an "aloof", and a collection of perl programmers a "cemetery".
  1. Java: a verbocity.
  2. Javascript: an anarchy.
  3. COBOL: a shrinery.
  4. Fortran: a numeracy.
  5. Lisp: a reDEFinery.
  6. C++: a commitee.
  7. C: a memory.
  8. PHP: a nursery.
  9. Haskell: an academy.
  10. Ruby: a rolling-stock.
  11. Perl: a memory.
With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity.
