Sung to the tune of "Let It Be" by the Beatles:
When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write in C."
As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in C."
Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, oh, write in C,
Lisp is dead and buried,
Write in C.
I used to write a lot of Fortran,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics !
Write in C.
If you've just spent nearly thirty hours
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.
Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
Only wimps use Basic.
Write in C.
