Pathological Programming

Lately, I have been reading a site called Good Math, Bad Math. On Fridays, the author posts in his Pathological Programming category, which is reserved for a description of some very, very strange and pointless programming languages. Today’s post tickled me: the programming language is called Chef and programs in it are written like recipes. The thing that tickled me the most: there is a serve with sub-recipe statement that causes a sous-chef to go off and prepare the sub-recipe and return the dish to the main chef — basically, a function call.

I am a husband, father, and software engineer. I have too many interests to list in such a short space, but I have an opinion about nearly everything and am willing to share them.
