• The Art of Klingon Programming

  by Paul Fenwick

  A good programmer needs many qualities: intelligence, foresight, dedication,
  and the ability to fight off a hundred angry targh armed only with your
  bat'leth. On Qo'noS, software developers undertake an intensive course in
  combat programming before they are cleared for active duty. The tlhIngan
  traditions have long known one truth holds true for both glory in battle and
  software development:

  bIlujDI' yIchegh()Qo'; yIHegh()!

  It is better to die() than to return() in failure.

  For too long, Perl has been a pujwI', and unsuitable for use by true
  warriors. In this talk we will show how the new autodie pragma can help you
  to code with batlh!
