Ignorance is Bliss

Charles Miller and Alan Green have a funny exchange over the virtues of ignorance in Java. Very geeky. Charles final response captures blissful ignorance quite well.

To take this one geeky step further, I can’t fail to mention the BLISS programming language. My first employer had a VMS source license and most of VMS was written in BLISS-32. As a result, I ended up learning how to read BLISS code. It was a powerful and somewhat scary language. Very low-level and more powerful than C. At the same time a lot easier to screw up than C — if that sounds possible.
