these are nOT the sisters you're looking for

[Pete via Digitalmars-d]

I post this only as a warning to others.

Imagine being the kind of person who isn't certain he could 
actually get Hello World past the D compiler  -but (and?) sees 
the subject "Our Sister" and immediately thinks:
"oh, Alexandrescu must be referring to his sister who is a doctor 
and did the art on the book cover".

    ---Welcome to the world of the PL trainspotter.---

Shoot-me shoot-me shoot-me.

It gets worse: I'm at the supermarket the other day, and the guy 
at the checkout has a strong Africaans accent.
I find myself saying to him; "umm if you right now, like 
hypothetically, heard the sound of hooves  -would you think of 
horses or zebras"
No lie. Try working *that* into a brief conversation about 
whether you have a store loyalty card.

Forget  the Star Wars allusion  -think Aliens ...when the Ripley 
character mercifully torches the wretched mutant clones of 
herself.

I was an actual programmer once.
