Pascal keeps your hand tied. C gives you enough rope to hang yourself.

Pascal keeps your hand tied. C gives you enough rope to hang

Summary

This quote suggests that Pascal, a programming language, restricts or limits what you can do, metaphorically speaking, by keeping your hand tied. On the other hand, C, another programming language, provides more freedom and flexibility, symbolized by the usage of rope. However, with this freedom, there is also a greater risk or potential for mistakes, as symbolized by the phrase "enough rope to hang yourself." In essence, it conveys that Pascal offers more structure and safety, while C offers more freedom and responsibility.

To endow the writer publicly with a good fleshly body, to reveal that he likes dry white wine and underdone steak, is to make even more miraculous for me, and of a more divine essence, the products of his art. Far from the details of his daily life bringing nearer to me the nature of his inspiration and making it clearer, it is the whole mystical singularity of his condition which the writer emphasizes by such confidences. For I cannot but ascribe to some superhumanly the existence of beings vast enough to wear blue pajamas at the very moment when they manifest themselves as universal conscience.

It is unfortunately very true that, without leisure and money, love can be no more than an orgy of the common man. Instead of being a sudden impulse full of ardor and reverie, it becomes a distastefully utilitarian affair.
