In the beginning, there was FORTRAN and BASIC, But Lo, the Angel of the 
Code came down ands said  'thou shalt receive great blessing and speak 
directly to the Hardware,  if thou learn  Microprocessor Assembler. And 
Lo it was so, and got me many shekels, but then The Angel Gabriel 
whispered in my ear that 'C' was almost as good but ten times faster to 
write, and in my desire for even more shekels per week I did learn it, 
and so it was.

The devil tempted me to write in satanic scripts, like bash, PERL, 
regexp,  python and sorely tempted me with Pascal.

But I stayed with the One True Kernighan and Ritchie, and my programs 
multiplied and prospered.

Only latterly have I given into temptation to learn as little PHP and 
JavaScript as possible, to construct web sites with. Truly they are both 
Satan's spawn.
