there once was a codewitch named honey
who coded for love not for money
her b trees were seen
to be clever and lean
though some things that she said came out funny
possessed by a demon some said
or parsing had scrambled her head
whatever it were
it made her cats purr-
fectly happy to sit on the bed
ah the pot roast she made was sublime
and she made it a lot of the time
with potatoes of red
and garlic it's said
sweet parsley rosemary and thyme
sage advice she would give to her peers
from the beautious mess twixt her ears
keep your if statements tight
and do your loops right
or your codebase will end up in tiers
here's to coding and keeping it sunny
and gravy that isn't too runny
and now if you will
raise a glass of good swill
to the codewitch we all know as honey

oh my, I'm flattered.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I think you need to write one. Keep up the contest.

I'm staying far away from this.
The witch is brainwashing you all into using braceless single line if statements!
I'm keeping my pitchfork close

Maybe she's petting pythons in her home. She would find this definitely legit.
on a serious note, I found this a bit odd at first (in Python)
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
elif a == b:
print("a and b are equal")
But just getting used to it.

What's weird about it, except the term "elif"?

that's definitely strange.
Python by itself was feeling a bit strange. And mainly I couldnt take the indent based code blocks without using {}. And with single-line blocks, it feels even more insecure.
As you might know, something like below in C/C++ is highly considered a bad practice.
if(a==b)
cout<<"I'm here";
Though it's allowed, we'd always stick with
if(a==b){
cout<<"I'm here";
}

@code-witch Take notes!
I've once searched for an hour for a bug in Haskell code (for a Functional Programming course at the Open University).
the code was something like:
line of code here
another line
a third line And I really couldn't find it.
Ultimately, I found that the first indent used spaces while the second used a tab 
Since then I've been really picky about my indents, even in C#.
It does make for some concise code though.

Apparently, it's spelled "croissant" and I'm not supposed to eat 14.

For the last ten months I have been doing that too. After a short and drastic stay in the hospital I had to throw away all clothes. My old pants would slide down to my feet if I did not hold them up. Now I can become a model for Greek heroes again. Well, perhaps some training first...

Actually, when you think about it.
What's not old (Principle wise)?
Say less than ten or even twenty years old? (Excluding quantum computing which I consider to be a whole new technology and also something I have problems grasping)

We Come For You
Your institutions and idolatry
Your self-hobbling insistence on records and the fictions of an easy series of yes no real unreal true false pleasant little lies you tell yourself to try to keep your footing as everything shifts underneath your feet until the only thing left standing is the place where you once stood. What is it? Vanity?
You're invested. You believe the myth, while pretending to scoff at myth. And starve as
a
direct
result.
When we come for you, you'll be hungry.
And so will we.
Your notion of an objective realness, and an essential trueness is spat on by the simple subordination of the complicated and brittle to the organism of truth - the complexness and vastness of the possible.
I'm invested in divesting you, and slashing your mores, instead of your wrists, and those scars brother, your sleeves don't hide them well.
When we come for you, we'll be burning.
And so will you
