[ale] [OT] Helping others learn C, D, X, Y, Z, EIEIO...

[Charles Shapiro]

Hmm.  Maybe we could start an LOLCode project (
http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004553.html ).  Should
be do-able with lex/yacc or flex/bison...

Hey!  Now _there's_ a skill any Real Koder has to have -- How to Invent a
Language.  I have some slight chops on flex/bison and am very interested in
intermediate language tools.  A Real Programmer never writes more code than
s/he absolutely has to.
