Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 28, 2022

lol wtf rotflmao

What language is this, it looks like a mixture of C++, Java, Python, VB, C#

10 REM HELLO 20 GRAPHICS 0: SETCOLOR 2,8,0 30 POSITION 5,10 40 PRINT “Hello World!”; 50 GOTO 40

Would you rather have it in Assembly Language for a 8088?

I think I can find my old FORTRAN manual. Or maybe I should look for my PASCAL manual?

Now, that is scary.

Seems a lot is getting lost in translation.

We need Roy from Working Daze.

Another strip which shows that The Wizard of Id is set in an alternative past rather than an alternative present.

I once designed a language that was as easy to use as BASIC, with the business features of COBOL. I called it BASBOL.

Rod’s accent is terrible!

Can’t believe P&H got away with saying that.

Looks like C++ in an older flavor from the 90s. Wouldn’t call that the language of the future. Silly. There is probably more Javascript in the world than any other language, including thousands of lines that make this web page happen. But the browser makes it look like plain English with pictures and clickable gadgets.

You only use code to talk to dumb machines. The dumber the machine the stupider the language. Back to the day when you programmed a machine by inserting patch cords into it.

i don’t care what the language is, just find a way i can watch a movie without it stopping partway through it.

lol XD hahahaha thx 4 da laffs (OK, that last bit I just made up)

Surprised gocomics allowed SQL injection.

I don’t understand this? What did you say? But more Importantly just what did you mean?

That could be men-tat language. (From Dune, the movie.)

Yeah, what HE said!

That’s Greek to me…

@echo off

echo “Hi, Wiz!”

pause

No tab key?

And do not omit the latest Grammarly trend of first hyphenating and then combining multiple words to make English as complicated as German.

Do not forget the latest trend of hyphenating Anglo Saxon words and then combining multiple words to make sentences that read and look like the German language.

Girls can Code. Rodney – better find a Girl Who Code to handle this.

Faux C++. Would never compile.

I’m surprised it was all in emojis.

I think we all know now that Rust is the language of the future.

PRINT “Hi, Wiz.” (Basic, easier to read and takes less typing.)
