Ultimate Programmer Hierarchy

[Andy Nguyen]

C++ programmers consider themselves superior to C# counterparts and vice versa. Now, where do we hear it before?

I once programmed SCHEME, a dialect of LISP. This chart could explain a few things.

Not really . Scheme is sometimes considered a good language to start. The structure is very clean, academical. It's a pure functional language where you can understand in-depth lambda-closures and the core concept of a program.

Partially I agree with this approach. One simple "limitation" is that you cannot keep state, which means you have to think hard about your requirements. However this is not bad, even recommended. Programmers jumping on procedural languages can be sloppier in creating a state-full mess. They trigger secondary actions, transfer many variables between classes that are not needed.
Scheme would teach you pure encapsulation ...

I'm not sure if most Java programmers even know what Pascal is lol... (fun language btw.)

Real programmers do it in Fortran and COBOL :D
