I chose Other - not because I cannot find similarities in all of the things listed. Oh how I do indeed.

But I would offer simply is that I believe that programming is most like Writing.

Ultimately is it simply an abstract way to express yourself.

There are many formats, from ad writers to columnists to short stories to novels, etc..

There are many styles.

There are many languages.

And if you want to compare popular fiction writers as Metaphors for programming styles then you can say interesting things about J.R.R. Tolkien and Philology for example...



Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
