What are some funny programming/mathematical jokes?

But that's because you're intentionally making it look ugly!

I think the problem people find with Lisp's parentheses is, just as @comp09 stated, it's hard for those not accustomed to them to orient through code when there are thousands of parentheses everywhere and it's sometimes even hard to make out which set a certain function (procedure?) call even belongs to.
With C-like languages, even though they have some weird grammar and perhaps unneeded symbols, if you aren't intentionally trying to make it look ugly, a large C-program is readable to many more people than Lisp is.

Jonathan50 has a point, the benefits of C++ are hard to see because its deviation from C has been largely *incremental*

C++ is a bug in itself. It's only better than C AFTER you finish using it!

And it was delicious! Play TBGs! Check out my Scheme Interpreter!

Oh, I get it… it should be ++C

EDIT: Actually C++ mutates C to make it better after you use C++ 0_o

That's because it's template<typename T> magic();

this might be a bad joke

A: You might have heard of this:
a = b
a^2 - b^2 = ab-b^2
[factorize ab-b^2 and change the difference of the square]
(a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)
(a+b) = b [this is getting weird…]
[remove the parentheses]
a+b = b [again this is weird]
[subtract b from each sides]
a+b-b = b - b
a = 0

B: What's the point of life then?
A: We need to prove that nothing equals zero

*invites infinite mathematicians to a party to prove that nothing equals zero*

btw
(b+a)(2b-a)(a-b)^2/(b-a)(b^2-a^2)(2b-a) -1

You know what always scam you? Macs. It's even in their name!

I do, in fact, have my own site; it's here.
I'm also working on a thing called Fetch. Look at it here!

I've seen something similar to this before. The trick is that in steps 3 - 4, you are dividing by zero.

What's a pirate's favorite programming language?

You may think it be R, or the C, but his first love be Perl.

As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.
