Dev8D: Code is poetry

Feb 16, 2012 by jcresswell

We’ve already explained the badges system at Dev8D: and one of the more unusual achievements is for writing a poem…

Mark J – Coding Haiku
Code is poetry
Sometimes it is full of bugs
Then it is blank verse

Jack F – Github
var limerick = (function() {
return "The code I write is quick
It's really really slick
I jumped into Vim
Implemented a HTML 5 shim
And now I don't look quite so thick"
})();

Nick J – A fork of Jack F’s… – Github
var limerick = (function() {
return "The code that I write is quite quick
Most people say it's really slick
I jumped into Vim
Made a HTML shim
And now I don't look quite so thick"
})();

Julian C – Ruby Poetry – Github
class Roses
def self.colour(*)
end
end

class Violets
def self.colour(*)
end
end

class Sugar
def self.flavour(*)
end
end

class I
def self.love(*)
end
end

Roses.colour("#FF0000")
Violets.colour("#0000FF")
Sugar.flavour == "sweet" && I.love("you")
