I know there are great many Polish people in the world, but why it matters so much in this case? They could have been any nationality, even French!

I believe many people use PL to mean programming language. I'm wondering if your joke just wooshed me.

You believe I'd purposefully misread an abbreviation in a comment about misreading abbreviations, and also coincidentally tried to make fun of two other nationalities (maybe even three, depending on political views), all at the same time?

I would never.

I mean pohl's joke above whooshed kjmh so it's all fine. The important thing for threads like this one is for us to name drop all of the weird programming languages that we have used, publicly avow the greatness of ones that we have not, and make a New Year's resolution that we will never follow, to actually pick up those great languages and write something in them...

Why must you call me out in this way? How did I wrong you, that I deserve this?
