An absolute classic. One of my favourite parts:
1987 - Larry Wall falls asleep and hits Larry Wall’s forehead on the keyboard. Upon waking Larry Wall decides that the string of characters on Larry Wall’s monitor isn’t random but an example program in a programming language that God wants His prophet, Larry Wall, to design. Perl is born.
Meta comment incoming,
I’d expect this to fit more inside Programmer Humor than here. But I guess it’s still early days and we haven’t solidified each community’s rules yet.
