This is a very funny article about computer languages being like cars:

Those were quite good, most of the languages which I know or at least heard about were funny, but the unknown ones, which syntax or objective I don't know, was quite uninteresting reading, for example Forth or Erlang, never heard them, never saw them, never used them, so those cars aren't for me
 Very funny in some way

Bahahaha those are awesome! Prolog, Lisp, and assembly were probably my favorites haha. Having a monadic version for haskell killed me. Knowing the languages I assume helps alot
The only one I didn't know/get was erlang or whatever, heard of it but dont know enough to get the joke.Nice find

These are good, although missing some languages I think that could be good. For example, whitespace, brainf**k and so on. Also, apparently Visual Basic is communist (In Soviet Russia, car drive you)!.
