Thinking outside the Bento box

Operator overloading is just a shortcut to using real functions.
Function overloading is merely generic function interface, saving the time to type the real function name.
Macros just produce code you could write yourself easily.
Classes don't have any advantage over structs. Their methods are less flexible than function pointers and arrays of function pointers are better than multiple dispatch.
Namespaces introduce complexity trading off the ability to use names globally for a restricted subset of it.
Module systems are rigid and inflexible compared to textual includes. What we need is binary resource includes.
Type-safety without escapes is useless: almost every language has a form of casting to another type.
Sometimes a generic type is the elegant solution, sometimes a specific type is needed. Having forced type-safety or forced dynamic types is counter productive.
Type inference is for programmers never bothering to specify a type.
Garbage collection overhead is traded for just not bothering to call free/delete or not using stack allocation freed at end of function.

Hey "theorists",

My name is John von Neumann, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day masturbating to abstractions of primitive lambda calculus. You are everything pretentious in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any FPGA expirience? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of my architecture because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than worshipping the spirits in your computer.

Don't be a theorist. Just hit me with your best lambda. I'm pretty much perfect. I was pioneer of quantum mechanics, and I've developed much of the computer science you take for granted myself. What the fuck do you do, other than "manipulate abstractions without thinkign about the hardware"? I can also use my memory any way I want, and have a really flexible code model (which I allow to self-modify itself; Shit was SO cash). You are all fantasizers who should just wake up. Thanks for listening.
