[–] nayuki 9y ago ↗ The excellent comic reminds me of the classic "shoot your foot in any programming language" humor, e.g. http://howto-pages.org/shootfoot.php [–] qwertyuiop924 9y ago ↗ That was my first one, too.

[–] qwertyuiop924 9y ago ↗ I don't get the Lisp joke. I mean, the parens, obviously, and the horse on top might be a joke about prefix notation, but why does everybody look weird?
