Generating gibberish
Generating gibberish is not really a very useful thing to do. But it's a funny thing to do, and it's not even hard. For the purposes of this blog post, generating gibberish is defined as:
Programming languages!
This post is not very serious, and should not be taken as such. I'm jotting down notes about my 'relations' to several programming languages, and trying to give my impression of what sort of person they'd be. Whether I am talking about the standard, an interpreter or a compiler varies from point to point, but it should be pretty (un)clear from context. I also assign genders to them. This happens pretty randomly. Anyway, what I say about them is my opinion, and my opinion only.
Simple, numerical computing.
Sometimes, I get these ideas, and I just have to sit down, write it down and get it out of my head. If it's a good idea, I prefer to do it in such a way as to have some use of it, and sometimes I do it just to see if it will work. I'm talking about ideas for computer programs, of course, and when I say write it down, I mean writing it down in a programming language and then possibly run the program. I've had one of these days today.
