Do the simplest thing that could possibly work
Nate and I dreamed up this list this morning:
Different programming languages’ approaches to “Do the simplest thing that could possibly work.“
perl: Do the simplest thing that no one can read.
C: Do the simplest thing that could possibly compile.
java: Just extend SimpleNamingSchemeWithAllNounsNameContainer.
C#: Do it in Java, only don’t suck as badly doing it.
python: Do it the only way that you can possibly write it.
COBOL: Do the simplest thing that no one alive today can maintain.
lua: Let’s take our application and embed Lua in it, then write an interpreter for a new domain-specific language in Lua and write our new feature in *that* language. Simple!
Got any others? Feel free to add them here!

FORTRAN: Do the simplest thing and prove it mathematically.
