几个世纪以来,印第安人发展了手语来传达人们感兴趣的现象。来自不同部落(FORTRAN,LISP,ALGOL,SNOBOL等)的程序员可以使用不需要他们在小马上扛黑板的程序员。
Over the centuries the Indians developed sign language for communicating phenomena of interest. Programmers from different tribes (FORTRAN, LISP, ALGOL, SNOBOL, etc.) could use one that doesn't require them to carry a blackboard on their ponies.
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
