God’s programming language
To the melody of the classic filk song “God Lives on Terra.” Parody lyrics written in 1996.
It’s wonderful. But then, I love filk. And I also love flexible data structures.
The lyrics start
I was taught assembler in my second year of school.
It’s kinda like construction work — with a toothpick for a tool.
So when I made my senior year, I threw my code away,
And learned the way to program that I still prefer today.Now, some folks on the Internet put their faith in C++.
They swear that it’s so powerful, it’s what God used for us.
And maybe it lets mortals dredge their objects from the C.
But I think that explains why only God can make a tree.

Software AG’s Tamino?
Software AG consultant Jose Huerga reminded me that Software AG has been selling XML database managers for a long time, and that they are now up to Release 4.4 of Tamino.
Personally, I’m out of touch with Software AG (e.g., I last visited Darmstadt in 1984). Would anybody care to share knowledge of or experiences with this product?
