In classical Greece the sybils at Delphi would inhale the vapors of the caverns, go into convulsions, and dispense ambiguous advice. Now we have a much cheaper way to settle questions: pose them to an Anagram Oracle and scan the megabytes of output for any tinge of sense. I asked one to compare the programming languages, with some surprisingly clear results:

code in Python	non-pithy code
code in Lisp	dispel coin
code in Scheme	I once Schemed
code in Java	Java? no dice
code in Forth	retch in food
code in Smalltalk	let on dismal lack
Perl code	old creep
SML code	scold 'em
Haskell code	sad coke hell
Mercury code	cure my coder
C-plus-plus code	C does cull pups
Snobol code	code on, slob
Erlang code	olden grace
Erlang code	glad encore
Erlang code	golden care
Erlang code	candor & glee
Erlang code	angel coder
code in Mozart	cozier, not mad
code in E	nice ode

There you have it: Actor languages are good. Other languages are bad. Q.E.D.
