It is amazing how wrong some ideas of early computing were. Fortunately none of modern languages really supports this mess. --Dmitry-kazakov 11:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't think the guys in the 1960's had a monopoly on bad ideas... take the new "\" (back slash) operator in PHP[1] as an example. Fortunately, every now and then, a good idea floats to the top, the trick is being able to spot the good idea early and rewind all the bad ideas even earlier.

Seeing an entry on Jensen's Device just floats my boat.
