   I found this exceptionally funny.

print 'Hello. My name is {0} and I am {1}.'

   uses indexes where

print 'Hello. My name is [name] and I am [age].'

   uses strings; time to talk about consistency with tuples/lists and dicts!

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
