What if programmign languages were methods to eat an orange?
>>
Assembler: You waste no time, abstraction such as knifes and forks are alien to you. You leap into the air, swipe your teeth around the orange and swallow it whole.
>>
Java:You take an orange from refrigerator, wash it, dry it with cloth, put it on plate. You salivate, anticipating an easy task. You take a knife and consult the book on industrial cutting patterns. You begin to feel nervous, holding the orange with a fork and carefully cutting it to standard 4 piece synergized enterprise orange meal. You swipe the juice off the plate with a napkin.You then pause and detect the seeds, removing them from each piece and ponder upon the preferred methods of eating. You take a book from the shelf entitled "Learn optimal orange eating in 24 hours". You take the easiest approach: placing the orange peel against your mouth you try to gnaw the threads and juicy parts.
After the meal you wash your mouth, dispose of the garbage and congratulate yourself with such an accomplishment.
>>
Haskell: You eat an orange with a spoon, removing the top part with a spoon cut and splashing juice everywhere. Its extremely labor intensive but you have so much fun in the process you forget it. Your mom eventually collects the orange peel and cleans the room.
>>
LISP: You peel an orange an put it into a juice mixer, with a cup attached nearby. It not very fast mixer however, so in the mean time you read a charter of SICP and redecorate your personal Sussman shrine. You would clean the mixer later, such matters shouldn't interfere with the process of orange eating.
>>
COBOL: You eagerly await the orange truck as it unloads nearby. You are hit by an old half-rotten orange which you hide into your pocket. Back home you you remove the bad parts, peel it and try to make the orange a part of a fruit salad. You present your poor family with your custom made salad. They probably wished for something more expensive, but you can't afford it.
>>
JavaScript: Your pet monkey steals an orange. You don't know how it was done or where it been, but you just got one. You casually peel it by hand and chew it, spitting seeds everywhere.
Your monkey looks at you contemplatively awaiting some reward or command. You leave the room walking completely unaware of what you've eaten before, just staring at clouds. Back in the room your monkey eats the peel.
>>
APL: You pick an orange, throw and shoot it. Juice falls down exactly the locations where you have placed cups. Your last shot guide the orange into the garbage bucket and you pull the cups back to you, since they all are connected with the same string.
You filter and mix the contents of all cups for a refreshing drink.
>>
Ruby: You pick an anime which revolves about teenage girls eating oranges all day and having a good time. You put it on repeat, adjust your figurines, and grab an orange. You throw it at the ceiling screaming something affirmative, some phrase you picked up from the anime. You get excited and get the peel off accidentally,but forget about it. You grab a juice pack from the refrigerator, and ponder on the hidden meanings of oranges in the anime.
>>
VisualBasic: You play with oranges as if it was basketball. People
look at you funny, but you persist and try to discover new orange throwing techniques. You wander the streets looking for someone to share your skills and challenge them for oranges in your pocket.
Eventually you're recruited by a passing orange league agent.
>>
Ada: You're invited to a orange farm to taste some oranges, but deep down you suspect something. You see a watermelon on a long fork, stuck on the ground. In a distance is a team of soldiers is coloring similar watermelons with orange paint, accompanied by guard dogs. You walk away, confused.
>>
Forth: You make an elaborate contraption, designed to make juice with minimal labor expenses. A truck unloads oranges into a designated pipeworks which all lead to your juice machine. The orange are peeled, juiced and discarded and juice is flowing smoothly into industrial containers attached to the machine. You taste the first batch and adjust the settings, leaving the process on overnight.
>>
Prolog: You try to figure out how to eat an orange but you go into an infinite loop. You change your plan a little bit, You find yourself compelled to stick the orange up your ass.
>>
PHP: You take off your pants, smash the orange against the wall, and fall down the stairs.
>>
HTML: You lick old orange peels, and imagine what an orange would taste like.
>>
C: You eat an orange
>>
Haskell: You sit in lotus position with inscence burning. There is an orange on the table. You sit thinking for a few hours. Then suddenly you grip part onto it and peel the orange into a single spiral in one flick of your wrist. You spend the rest of the week playing with interesting methods of folding the orange peel up.
>>
Scheme: You take your time-continuation device out of your pocket and travel back in time, you're there about to eat an orange but you steal it out of your own hands and bite into it. There is a dreadful fight you lose track of which one you are.. all you can do it kick and bite because you're being held down. You headbutt yourself really hard and start seeing stars, all you an think is "I need to get back" you grope around for your continuation... it's missing! You can't see anything, there's blood dripping down your face, why??? you scream but it's just a gurgle, you can't breathe anymore.. you must have bitten through... time is slowing down into a droopy viscous sensation, you can't feel anything anymore. You have died.
>>
Visual Basic: You're in a special education class for the mentally retarded. Today's lunch is orange slices.
>>
Python: You find an older boy to help you peel the orange. When you are away to eat the orange, Guido tells you that oranges are unpythonic and you should have a zucchini instead.
>>
tcl: You scrumple up some newspaper and paper mache it, once it's dry you paint it orange and eat it.
>>
Brainfuck: You grow an orange from a seed. Watering it and removing weeds, calculating optimal lighting inside your room and choosing the right fertilizer . You eventually grow a single orange. You can't bring yourself to eat it and instead freeze dry it as memorabilia. You tell all your friends about your orange.
>>
Perl: You dive into a box filled with many kinds of fruit. You feel around for an orange, and it takes several attempts until you are content you have an orange. While still submerged in the fruit box, you decide on how to peel the orange. You contemplate using (in roughly this order): a brick, a hammer, your fists, your forehead, a spoon, a fork, a knife... You give up and bite into the orange, only to discover that it is a pineapple. This entire process is repeated several times until you actually find an orange. Once you bite through its leathery flesh, you find it is underwhelmingly juicy. You then proceed to eat it anyway, but you decide to only chew through your lips, so your teeth do not actually touch any orange.
>>
Erlang: Hungry and half-asleep, you walk in a dimly lit room. A refrigerator door is slightly open and you look in, search for something edible. You try to bite an orange, but...suddenly it bites you back, grinning like a maniac. Your table swivels its legs around you. You're trapped and screaming for mercy, while being eaten alive by oranges.
>>
Perl

You look through all the fruits in the store, muttering garbage and looking for an orange matching a bad drawing of what you half remember oranges look like. When you find one, you pull out your dull pocket knife and peel the orange. It turns out mangled but edible.

C: you forgot to add a zero-terminator and accidentally ate your table.

C ++: orange is your virtual friend. Which doesn't make any sense.

>>43324397
You start peeling the orange but you quickly realize you don't know enough about the Rutaceae family to eat the fruit properly so you research that.

You then learn it's part of the Sapindales order which of course you know nothing about but it's an interesting architecture.

The lack of a good grasp on angiosperms is a common pitfall for Sapindales programmers so you pour over the documentation..which refers you to the Plantae Kingdom.

What is a Kindgom anyway? Oh that's a subdomain of Domains or empires (the highest taxonomic rank of organisms in the three-domain system of taxonomy designed by Carl Woese but I've heard he died of pancreatic cancer). You now wish he'd heard of the Harvard study from 2007 showing a modest inverse trend between blood circulation of B vitamines and folate and pancreatic cancer incidence.

I mean, he could've eaten more Oranges. Wait, what is an Orange again?!
>>
JavaScript: You eat your your orange with tools your home community invented, some of them are broken but you won't realize this until a few hours later. If you make any mistake eating the orange, you throw it out no matter what state it is and start with a brand new orange.

After using a mill and lathe you borrow from your neighbor, you have created an overly sophisticated, deluxe, orange crusher. You place the orange inside it and everything catches on fire. A contest judge walks up to you and hands you a small trophy.

HTML: You sit down in your high school Computer Projects class. The assignment this week is to eat an orange. You are handed a packet of papers with information about the orange tree, the orange peel, your fingers, the knife, and the plate you rest the orange on. The packet includes stock photos of peeled oranges, looking perfect and pristine. "Alright, this looks pretty easy," you think.

One week later, the project is due and half the peel is still on the orange. You cut that half off, and present it to the rest of the class. Your teacher gives you an 87% and you never eat an orange again in your life.

AutoHotkey: You are sitting in your childhood bedroom in 90 degree weather reading a forum about eating oranges. You recently installed a new orange on top of your TV-tray and you're curious about how others had been able to eat the orange.

You travel to a nearby lake on foot.

You find a piece of flint, fashion it into a crude axe, and cut down some nearby trees. Constructing a crude raft from sticks and branches, you paddle out and trawl for some iron ore.

After you collect as much as you can carry, you paddle back to land. You repurpose the axe as a mattock to dig and find some clay. You shape the clay into bricks and cook them over a campfire made of sticks. Using these bricks, you build a small furnace with which to smelt the ore, using individually-cut woodchips as fuel. After the ore has finished, you retrieve a small lump of iron from the slag.

Using suitably-shaped rocks as a hammer and anvil, you painstakingly heat the iron piece in your furnace, hammer it out flat, fold it, and repeat until you think the piece is strong enough. After 10 or so folds, you decide the piece is homogeneous enough and begin to hammer it out into a knife blade. From there, you use river rocks of varying abrasiveness to clean the blade of oxide and to sharpen it into an edge capable of cutting an orange. The knife is full tang and doesn't require a handle. You consider handles to be unnecessary bloat.

You return home with your knife, sit down in from of your orange, cut it up and eat it.

Despite the amount of work involved, this entire process from start to finish takes about 2 or 3 seconds. You eat your orange faster than your friend Guido did, and he already owns a robot that cuts up the orange and places it in his mouth for him.

The whole ordeal didn't add up you thought of going home but you never completed the step required to get there.
You start compiling your thought when the sudden error in your head comes.

You were never outside or inside the house, you where not even alive , it was an abstract thought , it had no porpoise or function you where the Orange.

Zsh: You have many interesting ideas in approaching the orange. You reach for the orange, and your hand automatically moves and points at a nearby oak tree, then an oil jar, an onion, and an optical disk.

When you finally managed to point at the orange, your hand whizzes and morphs into a cyborg abomination that tells you the current time, your current location in relative to your birth place, the duration of time since the last time you've moved a furniture in your current room, and the weight of the orange.

When finally you do pick up the orange and start peeling it, you realise your fingernails aren't compatible with this orange, or indeed most oranges in the world. So you go and check your current timezone with a gadget in your cybernetic arm again, trying to convince yourself that you don't want to eat that orange in the first place.

After gnawing for several days and leaking juice all over the floor you decide to purchase an eating framework for $300 that makes it a little better. So many people have been trying to eat this orange for so long that there are teeth marks everywhere and half of the orange is blue with mould.

> JavaScript

You look down and notice that the Orange has been replaced by a ball of raw, festering human feces that is stinking out the room. Your eyes are watering at the sheer putridity of the thing. It's like Brendan Eich has just been to Taco Bell, squat firmly over your face, and let rip.

Suddenly, Mozilla appear on the scene and offers a pair of tweezers so that you can at least pick the nuts and corn out. A Google van appears and offers to paint the ball orange so that you can at least pretend that it's fruit. A few other teams arrive and offer ways to press the ball of shit into other shapes including Node, that guarantee that their 'shit processing machine' can make it into a banana.

After a few days you're left with a ball of orange, glow in the dark, JIT-compiled, shit that allows some level of usability if you're fine with getting the stuff all over your office. You get the feeling that this Orange was a joke that got completely out of hand.

> Java

The Orange is sweet and juicy and delicious. After wolfing it down in a few minutes you notice that the skin's color is a little inconsistent. The news tells a story of a man that once tried to make a fruit salad but ended up building an entire fruit salad factory that only output picnic baskets containing apples.

> C

The Orange is very pleasant and you rejoice to find out that you can fit 50,000 of them in your kitchen. The people at the supermarket that buy C brand Oranges all smell funny and keep muttering that the windows 'flat kernel' was better even if it did crash every 20 minutes. The packaging for the Orange has instructions written in an ancient dialect of Sanskrit.

> LISP

You can see the orange and want to eat it but it came with a few additional extras. Bundled with the fruit was a collection of machinery of such vast and unhindered complexity that it was like wandering into some dystopian sci-fi epic. There is a machine that hums and glows with a faint light that stretches right up to the sky and another machine that appears to be able to create oranges straight from the quantum foam using a laser the size of a skyscraper. You drive for hundreds of miles in all directions but the machines only seem to increase in complexity.

After weeks you encounter a strange man and a young student sitting in the ruins of a machine the size of a city. The man's beard stretches off into the distance and the student questions him eagerly.

"Why don't we make a machine that can go back in time and feed an Orange to someone" - the student pauses, he looks contemplative, "before they even know they want an Orange?"

"tried that back in 79'" relies the old man, "you young-uns need to catch up"

You pick an orange from the fridge. Not just any orange, but a $150 one that's been genetically engineered to be peeled by a TI-KNIFE© only. After spending far too much time learning the differences between the TI-KNIFE© and a normal one, you create a procedure to easily peel the entire orange with one stroke. You are so proud of your work that you begin to share this method with your friends, only to realise they do not own the latest TI-ORNG© which is unable to be cut by the TI-KNIFE©. You then spend the rest of your hobby time creating alternate methods to peel the various TI-ORNGs©

GLSL: you first figure out the exact shape of the orange. Next, you look at one microscopic part of the peel and calculate its exact lambertian lighting parameters. Finally, you use a thousand tiny knives to cut off 1mm^2 sections of the skin at once.
Once your orange is peeled, you swap buffers and do it a few hundred times again in the next second.

You save up and but the requisite $2000 kitchen equipment and iKnife™ cutting set with the mandatory long term support and a bundled free Orange download.

On the way home from the Swift™ store you notice Steve Jobs sitting in a bus shelter. He's just staring at you, unblinking. A bus comes and goes and he remains in the same place.

You get home and change into slacks. Glancing up you see Steve in your garden. He's right there in the middle and making no attempt to hide. His eyes and wild and glaring.

You unpack your recent purchases and start reading the documentation to cut the Orange. Under the section on cutting the manual just says 'This changes everything. Again.' with no other instructions. You hear a clattering in your living room and peek through the door, flipping the light switch. Nobody is there but it creeps you out.

After trying to cut the orange and experiencing some success you turn in for a shower. Lathering up in the steam filled cubicle you feel a presence behind you. A cold and strained breathing.

You turn. It's Steve. Those same wild eyes are fixed on you. You scream and fling the door open, running down the stairs and grabbing what clothes you can.

After sprinting swiftly to a friends house you towel off and hide. Shaking as your friend says you'll be safe here. After a while your heart rate slows and you try to doze off in the guest bed.

You wake. A long, bony finger is pressed right against your butthole.

Steve presses his lips against the standing hairs on your neck and whispers ever so gently.

"Shhh, No tears please, It's a waste of good suffering. We have such sights to show you"

Emacs Lisp:

Eating an orange should be simple enough. No problem.

Since you want to actually see yourself eat the orange, you need to generate a buffer and dump the pieces you want people to see there.

Your program works well enough, so you make a customizable variable that allows a person to choose the fruit they want to eat.

Unfortunately, you didn't bother learning all of the intricacies of Emacs' customize facilities and now people are putting things like baskets and other things in the variable and they end up choking to death or blowing up.

You don't care.

As it turns out though, you accidentally chose a variable name that conflicts with another part in your program and need to change it.

You also accidentally redefined a primitive function and now Emacs is foaming at the mouth with a debugger up.

You just shoot him and bring up another instance.

You'll eventually fix it later.

C#: Tired of eating tangerines all your life and constantly having to spit out the seeds, you decide to start eating oranges instead.

You walk into the grocery store to find a big box of factory-farmed oranges, with a whole shelf full of orange-related accessories next to it, but the oranges are $10 a pound. Next to it is a small box of organically grown, but slightly rotten oranges as free samples. You grab a few fresh oranges, a peeler, and a specialty orange-storage container.

You get home and decide to lookup some information about eating oranges. The top search results are:

MSDN: Orange.Eat Method
Scott Hanselman: This week's best orange recipes
Coding Horror: It's not about the orange, but what you do with that matters
John Skeet: 1,001 ways you can tell time using an orange

However, you get halfway done when the structure explodes and the oranges fly all over the place. You continue trying to recreate your masterpiece, inserting oranges from the left, top, and bottom, but none of these techniques work. Defeated, you grab a banana, eat it, and throw the peel on the table. The oranges magically converge above the banana, once again forming the perfect Penrose Staircase.

You think about taking the oranges to your grandmother's house to show her, but you remember she's going to die soon anyway and instead go home to build new orange structures.

You sit at a table in the kitchen. In front of you are thirty-two doll plates in a neat row. You are holding a doll knife and fork.
You try to start eating the orange, but you don't have it in front of you. You get up from the table and walk over to the counter hoping the orange is there, but it isn't. You keep walking to the refrigerator, open it, and see the orange. You cut a half inch off the top of the orange and set it on the counter, leaving the rest of the orange in the refrigerator. You cut a tiny piece from the chunk on the counter, bring it back to the table, and set it on one of the plates.
In order to separate the peel from this tiny piece you create a bit of peeled orange from nothingness and put it on another of your plates. You AND this with the first piece and store the resulting peeled bit of orange back in the refrigerator. You repeat this procedure hundreds upon hundreds of times, until the entire orange is rebuilt in a peeled state in the refrigerator and the peel has vanished. You cannot eat the orange because it's too large to fit in your mouth.

Max/MSP: You drag the orange into a chalk rectangle you’ve drawn in front of your refrigerator. Then, using word magnets on the door, you describe the exact location of the orange. Magically the orange appears in the fridge on 0th shelf. You’ve already lined the edge of the door with explosives. You slam the fridge with a sledgehammer, igniting them. As the door blows open, a black plastic retractable tube extends out from the fridge. The orange falls into the tube and rolls onto an adjacent white plastic table. On the table is a sleek box with a round opening on two sides, exactly the size of an orange. The box is labeled “peel 1”. The orange rolls into the box through one opening and emerges from the other without a peel. The peeled orange then rolls through another black tube and off the side of the table. As it falls, it happens to land perfectly onto a radial arrangement of knives that correspond with each section of the orange. The sections are perfectly separated, but just before they hit the ground, they are magically transported to a point in mid-air 15 ft. above the stage at an illegal loft performance space in San Francisco. You notice that somebody has written the letter “s” on the ground where they would have landed. The sections fall into a proprietary orange section launcher connected to the performer’s PowerBook running a custom driver for the machine written by his friend at Mill’s College. The sections are sorted and placed on individual metal launcher arms. They cock back with an awkward jerky movement, but once positioned, they smoothly launch the orange sections into equally divided portions of the audience.

There’s an off-by-1 error and one portion of the audience doesn’t get any orange, but everybody’s too confused to notice. They can’t decide whether they like the taste of the orange.

A few guys on a forum talk about how oranges aren’t very interesting anymore.

Avisynth: You spend twenty minutes looking for a knife suitable for cutting the orange open. Eventually you give up and peel it with your fingernails.
>>
Python: you read an orange-eating manual for retards; you instantly know how to eat oranges forever and eat one.
>>
SourcePawn: You have been given a table. You smash the table into splinters and use one to pierce the orange. You squeeze what sustenance you can from the puncture.

Embedded C: In your world, oranges are all subtly different from each other, each with different numbers of vesicles, stems attaching the orange to the tree at odd positions, specific vesicles which explode, and so on. If you try to eat two oranges in the exact same way, you will probably make a mess and get orange juice all over yourself. Sometimes you consult the datasheet for the orange and find out that you don't have time to learn how to eat the new orange, or that it doesn't meet your nutritional requirements to begin with. Sometimes your client tells you to turn an orange into an apple.

Fortran:

Your adviser wants you to adapt this legacy device from the 80s that (supposedly) peels and cuts apples so that it cuts oranges instead, since that's all the rage in the field now. There's no documentation except a few cryptic comments on post-it nodes stuck to the device, and anyone who had remotely any idea how to operate the device has long since graduated.

Six months later you've found out that, not only can you not make the device peel oranges, but the device never peeled apples properly either.

After two more years of dead ends, bug fixing, and some really awful all nighters, you get the device to peel and cut an orange, but only on Tuesdays at 2:00 am, and only on deformed off-brand oranges that have been painted green. You immediately publish your findings and start going to conferences to give talks on what you've done.

After you graduate you're turned down from any job due to 'over-qualification and lack of relevant experience.'

Brainfuck: You smash the orange to pulp with a hammer, look at it and decide that you'd rather be eating apples instead.

Scheme LISP:

You have a box of oranges, they're a bit old, but good despite the lack of juicyness. After failing to get your friends interested in the oranges you offer them, you play on their insecurities and draw an anime girl face on an orange and throw it to them.

Oranges are suddenly very popular, and everyone throws around the moe-ified oranges, but very few people actually eat them.

JavaScript: You fuck the process in about eight different ways but get no indication as such and the language emulates an orange taste in your mouth to ensure you really believe you ate it.

SAP: You call a consultant.
He gives you some mediocre sliced oranges and a $10.000 invoice.

MATLAB: You have your orange and you try to find out how to eat it. You find an orange eating process that does exactly what you want it to, but it requires your orange to be seedless. You find a seed removal process, but it turns your orange into a pulpy mass.

You painstakingly make your own process to turn your pulpy mass into a seedless orange by slowly reconstructing it on a molecular level.

You can finally eat your orange with the original process you found. A week later you take a picture of your shit and carefully label all the parts that came from the orange and post it on facebook.

Depressingly accurate.

JavaScript: You buy 10 oranges and give them to your friends. You later find your friends all eating the same orange, because you forgot to put a closure in the orange-dispensing loop.

Prolog: You think about a non-deterministic solution to the problem of eating an orange and end up inserting shit into your rectum. A few hours later, an orange emerges from your throat.

SQL: It turns out you forgot to sanitize the orange and when you ate it you also sold your house to a Russian hacker for a crate of vodka.

Object Pascal: You eat the orange as fast as C++, but doing half the work. Later your boss presents you a truckload of oranges. You heard of all those nice orange-eating tools that may be useful, but unfortunately it turns out most of them are unavailable in your language. You end up using an old, sub-par tool, or painfully create a wrapper around the part of functionality you actually need.

C++: You look up the recipe on how to eat an orange. Each munch you take, you see that a portion of the fruit shop collapses. Later you open up the 500-page appendix to the orange-eating recipe and find out that basically every word and symbol inside the recipe has been overloaded. After a month of analysing the code, you realise you pretty much gave testicle cancer to everyone who has ever touched the orange.

The LISP one was gold, thank you.

Scrum/Agile developement:
In front of you is a fresh orange which you need to eat according to the wishes of someone else who only knows the idea of eating oranges but doesn't really know the actual process involved and whom you cannot interact with directly, you will need someone else, who interprets the ramblings of the orange client and writes down instructions for you for that, as well.
The eating of the orange is expected to be finished in two weeks, according to schedule and to each daily task set, which gets discussed at a watercooler each morning.

The first few days go swimmingly and, with the guidance of the mediator and the generated instructions, you managed to devise a method that takes off thin layers of orange by circling the orange and holding a sharp peeler like knife to it.
The mediator shows this to the orange client, who likes it, but has some few suggestions that he would like to see in the final method of eating the orange, like instead of running around the orange, you are to use a unicicle because it stands for evolve customized action-items and was used in other projects to cultivate leading edge orangeeservices.

The catch is that you also need to devise your own method of building and riding an unicyle after your mediator tells you the generic steps to do so, and despite that already threatening your two week deadline, it is still demanded to be included.

This cycle of feedback and implementation of methods continues for one more week, during which the client suggested so many changes that your unicycle should be rocket powered, the peeler being an array of highly trained sheep that gnaw the peel while being attached to a rotating wheel that lets every sheep gnaw for one second and the orange is now still an orange but the client would love it if the whole thing would feel like eating a banana because he saw that somewhere else and thinks fruit is fruit.

one day before deadline he cancels because he bought a prefab method from india.
