How about a category for executable limericks?
That was my thought too...
for programmer in search_of("elegance"):
if programmer.needs("an experience"):
print "whitespace counts much"
if Van_Rossum is Dutch:
print "Dictators are made by benevolence"And an attempt at a self-replicating one that uses far too many syllables in the last line:
rhymes = 'for line in ["rhymes", "fines"]:\n '
fines = 'print line, "=", `eval(line)`\n'
for line in ["rhymes", "fines"]:
print line, "=", `eval(line)`
whine='whine=%s;print rhymes, fines, whine%%`whine`';print rhymes, fines, whine%`whine`
This can actually be pronounced as a proper limerick as follows: always pronounce = as "is" and ; as "so", don't pronounce any other punctuation, and cheat by pronouncing the first string in the last line as "junk" :-)
rhymes is for line in rhymes fines fines is print line is eval line for line in rhymes fines print line is eval line whine is junk so print rhymes fines whine whine
