Programming puns, every free software user's favorite thing that never gets old, right?
The FSF is prepping to launch a tshirt design for this year's LibrePlanet conference, and it's going to include the slogan "fork the system." We want the back of it to have a bunch of lines of code in different languages forking an imaginary process called theSystem or something like that. Unfortunately, I don't have enough programming knowledge to generate a lot of these and make sure that the syntax makes sense, so I was hoping to crowdsource that process. Here are some to start. please let me know if you feel they don't make sense or could be improved, or if you've got any others: C: newSystem = fork(theSystem); Python: newSystem = os.fork(theSystem); Haskell: newSystem <- forkProcess (theSysetm); (not at all confident in this one) Perl: $newSystem = fork(theSystem); There's another angle we can take, which would be commands for version control systems to fork a repo, i.e.: git clone theSystem newSystem svn checkout theSystem newSystem Ideas of this type are more than welcome as well. We'll use one type or both, depending on how many we get. Other ways of representing the pun in code would also be great.
