The Lurker

Willis would either create a new programing language just for DOA, or use an obscure seldom used language… he would not make a fictional language.

Packy Anderson

Is Willis a programmer? I mean, I know he made games when he was younger, but I never knew that he coded them. Plus, making a new programming language just for a comic? That's major CS geek territory.

Oddly, this makes me wonder who shared the Do List with the world again. Given it wasn't Amber or Other Rachel and clearly required a GENIUS MASTERMIND to do it.

Jen

dun dun dunnnn

Bagge

Nerds, 'mIright?

*Carla leads Ruth to a nearby junkyard* "Carla, I said Rachel AND Amber, not Rachel Amber!"

Maude Reads Things

Honestly, part of me wonders that still too. It doesn't look like Carla's seen it yet (or at least not her ranking - she didn't want to until she knew for sure everyone on her floor was having a crappier day than her) but she might not have needed to in order to release it into the wild. Really, all we know for sure is that Rachel vehemently denied it.

Maude Reads Things

huh. Turns out Carla can be helpful without much being in it for her. Or is this her owning Ruth by being helpful too. ;)

Packy Anderson

Now I'm trying to figure out what language the code Carla wrote is in. It looks like XML, but that's a <i>markup</i> language, not a <i>coding</i> language. Oh, God, I'd be right behind Amber and Rachel with a marker in my hand...

Borg Lord

I'm offended that you just called XML a coding language, but impressed that you wrote bad recursion in it.

George

Might be a fictional language.

Maude Reads Things

I'm choosing to believe Carla just threw whatever bullshit popped into her head, like 'Hmmmmm, what would REALLY piss them off? Oh! I know! Mash up XML and a bunch of other stuff, make it recursive and what the hell? I'll make sure the schemata is off just enough to drive them nuts.'

Elntil

I assumed, because of the "<?", that it's PHP

Daniel Adams

It’s like if Good Will Hunting was a honeypot situation.

Packy Anderson

In the Dumbiverse, such things are possible.

thejeff

Hey, nothing wrong with recursion. Sometimes it's the elegant solution.

Packy Anderson

Praveen: PHP doesn't have everything in angle brackets. Plus, I can see some XML namespacing on the second line.

David H. Adler

Can I like this multiple times, please?

Dean Reilly

It's a chance for Carla to show off.

Bagge

Dunno, that sounds.... recursive

Gwen Sanger

The only thing wrong about recursion is the only thing wrong about recursion is the only thing wrong about recursion is...

Dana

At least it's not iterative?

John Lee

Huh. That's her mom.

KellyC

hahahaha

Alex L

It looks a bit like XSLT to me. Written in XML? Check. Supports recursion? Check. Anything written in it is an abomination? Triple-check.

David H. Adler

Could be. Could also be done iteratively, though. And what's wrong with recursion anyway?
