I tell ya, my programming language don't get no respect at all.
I was telling my coworker about the library I was writing in my 10% time,
and he asked if it was used for steering a turtle! No respect at all...
Our meetups don't get a lot of traffic either. Last time only one guy
showed up, and he was in the wrong room! Turned out he was looking
for the cooler, more hip meetup across the hall-- it was for Ada! No
respect at all...
I told my boss he should give me a raise, that developers for my
language were in big demand. He said from who, Fischer-Price?
I tell him no, that Facebook was looking for guys like me, and he said
that would only be happening if they're looking for a guy to rewrite
existing code into a language used more widely and was more corporate
friendly-- like EmacsLisp!
