Character Sketches
PHP
The duct tape that holds 40% of the web together while everyone pretends it doesn't exist. PHP is the cockroach of programming: ugly, everywhere, and absolutely unkillable.
Haskell
The beautifully dressed philosopher who can't find their car keys. Haskell writes the most elegant code in any language, then spends 45 minutes explaining why IO is actually a monad.
