    Finally! I’ve almost burned through all the money I made fixing Y2K bugs. This will give me a new lease on life!

    I’ll worry when someone makes Fortran on a Funicular.

    It won’t be as fast as Ruby on Crack though.

    As someone who took PASCAL in HS and COBOL as an UG, that is just too funny. Frighteningly reminiscent of all nighters working on code on a 2400 baud modem dialed into a VAX.

    That’s too funny… I must be getting old… I still remember those days!

    Even funnier is that I could show this link to the COBOL developers in my office and they just wouldn’t get the joke.
