I hope some of our more tech-savvy members will enjoy this at a deeper level than I do (although I think it's pretty funny, mostly I'm just laughing at the pictures).

You need to rescue the princess with code - but sometimes your code doesn't work and the princess is a dragon and you're a fish.

<chortles> Something about Pascal and drinking rings a bell.

lol.. turbo pascal 4 drove me to drink.... never programmed anything since....

Actually the LISP one had me in stitches

Yup, same here. LISP one was the best.

Had to laugh about LISP... Had to code OO in Scheme though.

Pascal was nice. But I always loved digging into 6502 and m68k assembler code.

Reminded me a bit of this one: How to shoot yourself in the foot - in code

<sniggers>

Real Programmers don't use Pascal

ah yes the joys of 6502 and z80 machine code programming... did a bit back in the mid 80's. did some x86 machine code programming too at college. started to write a patch editor for a Yamaha DX7 synth.... almost got it working too...

You have Forth:

You spend a week discussing with yourself the most efficient way to save the princess...
... Once there, the princess runs away because she thinks you came to kill her.
