If programming languages were religions

I just read a funny article on what religions different programming languages would be. He runs through all the popular religions (including Pastafarianism) and programming languages from C to Ruby to PERL.

In my experience defining Enterprise standards, I've noticed how arguments about programming languages become religious discussions pretty quickly, so this comparison has some real-world merit.

Just a little off-topic, light hearted, and non-PC humour for the Christmas season :-)
