Humor: "Hello World" programs (infiltec.com)

I still crack up every time I see the "master programmer" part, which uses COM. The joke here is the ridiculous overhead that the COM boilerplate is putting in isn't even exaggerated -- most of this stuff would actually feature in a real-world program. (Of course, in a real-world program it would be a relatively smaller.)


COM was the hammer for the longest time, i'm glad .NET is making its way :)


As classic as it is, I don't feel like voting up something that has not been developed for the past 12 years.


Compare "The Evolution of a Haskell Programmer" (http://www.willamette.edu/~fruehr/haskell/evolution.html)


Old but gold.
