Write in C

When I find my code in tons of touble,
Friends and colleages come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write in C."

As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in C."

	Write in C, write in C,
	Write in C, oh, write in C.
	LISP is dead and buried,
	Write in C.

I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.

If you've just spent nearly 30 hours
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.

	Write in C, write in C,
	Write in C, yeah, write in C.
	Only wimps use BASIC.
	Write in C.

	Write in C, write in C,
	Write in C, oh, write in C.
	Pascal won't quite cut it.
	Write in C.

}

	Write in C, write in C,
	Write in C, yeah, write in C.
	Don't even mention COBOL.
	Write in C.

And when the screen is fuzzy,
And the editor is bugging me.
I'm sick of ones and zeros,
Write in C.

A thousand people sware that T.P.
Seven is the one for me.
I hate the word PROCEDURE,
Write in C.

	Write in C, write in C,
	Write in C, yeah, write in C.
	PL1 is '80s,
	Write in C.

	Write in C, write in C,
	Write in C, yeah, write in C.
	The government loves ADA,
	Write in C.

50 Ways to Hose Your Code

The problem's all inside your code she said to me;
Recursion is easy if you take it logically.
I'm here to help you if you're struggling to learn C,
There must be fifty ways to hose your code.

She said it's really not my habit to #include,
And I hope my files won't be lost or misconstrued;
But I'll recompile at the risk of getting screwed,
There must be fifty ways to hose your code.

	Just blow up the stack Jack,
	Make a bad call Paul,
	Just hit the wrong key Lee,
	And set your pointers free.

	Just mess up the bus Gus,
	You don't need to recurse much,
	You just listen to me.

She said it grieves me to see you compile again.
I wish there were some hardware that wasn't such a pain.
I said I appreciate that and could you please explain,
About the fifty ways.

She said why don't we both just work on it tonight,
And I'm sure in the morning it&39;ll be working just right.
Then she hosed me and I realized she probably was right,
There must be fifty ways to hose your code.

	Just lose the address Les,
	Clear the wrong Int Clint,
	Traverse the wrong tree Lee,
	And set your list free.

	Just mess up the bus Gus,
	You don't need to recurse much,
	You just program in C.
	You just program in C.

Write in Perl

When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Lecturers and colleagues start to hurl,
Screaming words of wisdom:
"Write in Perl."

As the deadline fast approaches,
And all the bugs start to unfurl,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in Perl."

Write in Perl, write in Perl,
Write in Perl, oh, write in Perl.
C was last years language,
Write in Perl.

In my hour of darkness,
and I'm feeling the weight of the world,
Using it for SNMP!
Write in Perl.

If you're tearing out your hair and
you're left with just your favorite curl,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in Perl.

Write in Perl, write in Perl,
Write in Perl, yeah, write in Perl.
Only wimps write in Visual C.
Write in Perl.

Write in Perl, write in Perl
Write in Perl, oh, write in Perl.
Pascal won't quite cut it.
Write in Perl.

Write in Perl, write in Perl,
Write in Perl, yeah, write in Perl.
Don't even mention COBOL.
Write in Perl.
