Anger as a Software Design Philosophy

Posted by michael on from the soundproof-cubicle dept.

Chilliwilli writes "Spending more time cursing your code than writing it? Well now there's an answer. feckfeck (a language in the vein of Whitespace and Brainf*ck) will help you get back that precious time by converting your foul words into code. You've heard the hype surrounding VLIWs, well here are FLIWs (4 letter instruction words). The great thing is the more angry you get the more code you'll write. For those programmers on performance related pay this is great news."

    ...since it's a UK site, this is supposed to be "shag."

    While "shag" is no biggie in the US, it is apparently almost as offensive a word in other countries as "fuck" is to Americans.

    From the IMDB trivia page for "Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me":
    In the U.S., "shag" is far less offensive than in other English-speaking countries. Singapore briefly forced a title change to "The Spy Who Shioked Me." ("Shioked" means "treated nicely.")
