Pick a language…

While discussing 3,200 line shell scripts and adding logging thereto, I introduced Stephen to the concept of a bus factor, for approximately the eleventy millionth time (my suggestion was to add the log, ideally a nice big one, to roughly the centre of the developer’s head).

We decided that our relationship had a bus factor of zero. If he were taken out by a bus, there’s no way I’d be able to keep the project going on my own :(

Which led to the question of what language he was written in anyway, which took all of about four milliseconds to decide.

Prolog.

He’s all about truth; he’s logical to the point of being really rather annoying sometimes; and trying to understand him will probably result in your brains turning into scrambled eggs.
