This is brilliant not because it is funny (at times) but because it gets to a deeper link between programming, literacy and sprituality.

This stuff matters.




Really? This is getting toward a deeper link? I don't know about that.


Yes, language encodes thought patterns and affects them too.

The software languages we use affect our thinking as much as the spoken languages we use, and to juxtapose the two simply emphasises how closely linked are our notions of spirituality and language used to describe it. calling out the spiritual and throwing the secular world of programming into the same sentence just makes me reconsider which is the driver and which the driven.
