From Chip’s Quips a test to see your programming language preference:
Here’s a quick and easy test to determine what programming language best suits your personality.
There’s a very tall palm tree, and four animals happen to pass by: a chimpanzee, a lion, a giraffe, and a squirrel.
They decide to have a competition to see who is the fastest one to get a banana off the tree.
Which one won? Think of your answer before you read on…
Actually, what you don’t see in the animal lineup that Sterling has provided, is a rhinoceros heading straight for the tree at full ramming speed. It skewers the lion with its horn, steps on and squishes the squirrel, pushes aside the giraffe, and knocks the chimp from the tree when it hits—the force of which also knocks the banana down.
Except that the rhino decided, right in the middle of its headlong run, that it really doesn’t like bananas. However, it had built up too much momentum to be able to stop in time to save the lion, the chimp, the squirrel, the giraffe, the banana, and the tree. Poor tree.
And that makes me JavaScript ECMAScript.
