Quote by Tom Van Vleck
Real programmers don't write in PL/I. PL/I is for programmers who can't decide whether to write in COBOL or FORTRAN.
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that real programmers do not use PL/I, a computer programming language. It implies that choosing to code in PL/I indicates indecisiveness between COBOL and FORTRAN, two other programming languages that have been around for a long time. The quote underscores the notion that real programmers have strong preferences and expertise in specific languages, rather than being caught in a state of indecisiveness.
