(Enlightenment)

Seen on the ruby-talk mailing list, in answer to a guy who is asking how Ruby can be 100% object oriented when primitives like ‘if’ and ‘then’ are not objects:

> Seriously, what kind of object would an If object be? What is the
> essence of If-ness? I think if anybody could answer that question they

That, my friends, is exactly how LISP programmers are created.

Which reminds me of this xkcd comic.

End of the Lisp bashing.
