Poll: If Yoda was a programmer, what would be his go-to language?
What would Yoda program in?
22 コメント
It would be Forth, as his backward talk sounds pretty much like a RPN version of human language.
Came to say Lisp because of http://xkcd.com/297/ but Forth gets ex-aequo.
Program? Yoda would do whatever he needed to do by flipping bits in real time using the force.
Definitely Assembly.
Luke: There's something not right here... I feel cold. Death.
Yoda: [points to a cave opening beneath a large tree] That place... is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go.
Luke: What's in there?
Yoda: Only what you take with you.

You forgot Clojure
Luke - Java ; Qui-Gon Jinn - C++ ; Obi-Wan Kenobi - Perl ; Ki-Adi Mundi - Assembly ; Mace-Windu - C ; Count Duku - D ; Anakin Skywalker - Python ; Aayala Secura - Haskell ; Darth Maul - Ocaml ; Darth Vader - TypeScript ; The Emperor - C# ;
And while we're codifying Star Wars: Imperial Trooper - Microsoft Word Rebel Soldier - MarkDown Han Solo - Counter Strike Leia - Matlab (maybe) Boba/Jango Fett (both of them) - Metasploit Chewbacca - Worms C3P0 - Siri R2D2 - info

If it is C - he would write "if (42 == answer) ... " instead of "if (answer == 42) ..."

Something about the old MIT AI koans convinces me that yoda would be a lisp hacker; http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_koan
The poll left out the obvious choice.
Binary.
"Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda (and presumably no "except" block either").
Edit: reading the comments it appears someone beat me to the try-except joke.

I'd imagine any language which is multi threaded and with plenty of race conditions, because he'd code that perfectly knowing it would work fine.
Definitely Lisp. That's where the force is.
Assembly, for using "raw force" and thinking about the fundamental principles of everything.
Haskell for me I like the most. Hmmmmmm
For(ce)tran
Strong with the Forth Yoda would be. YODA TALK-LIKE IF FORTH USE THEN
Go, because out-of-normal-order the type declarations are.
do or do not where is no try catch exceptionC# obviously... do I win anything?
Why isn't Perl listed?
Avoid null behavior, Yoda will.
Java it is.
Java it is.
What? No Object Pascal?
