The Tao of Programming
1.2
The Tao gave birth to machine language. Machine language gave birth to the
assembler.
The assembler gave birth to the compiler. Now there are ten thousand
languages.
Each language has its purpose, however humble. Each language expresses the
Yin and Yang of software. Each language has its place within the Tao.
But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it.
