c++模板可以用来做一些奇怪的事情，最好的例子是“多维模拟字面量”，它使用模板来计算“绘制”形状的面积。下面的代码对于3x3矩形是有效的c++代码

#include"analogliterals.hpp"
using namespace analog_literals::symbols;

          unsigned int c = ( o-----o
                             |     !
                             !     !
                             !     !
                             o-----o ).area;

再举一个3D立方体的例子:

  assert( ( o-------------o
            |L             \
            | L             \
            |  L             \
            |   o-------------o
            |   !             !
            !   !             !
            o   |             !
             L  |             !
              L |             !
               L|             !
                o-------------o ).volume == ( o-------------o
                                              |             !
                                              !             !
                                              !             !
                                              o-------------o ).area * int(I-------------I) );

为什么c#的List<T>.AddRange()不让我添加T的子类型的元素?阀门列表< T > () ! 微软只需要多写一行代码:

public void AddRange<S>(
    IEnumerable<S> collection
) where S : T

绝对最糟糕的WTF必须是Cobol的ALTERED GOTO。

语法非常直截了当:“ALTER label1 TO GOTO label2”，但是调试运行时面条的结果令人难以置信。

在JavaScript中，undefined是一个全局变量，其默认值为原始值undefined。你可以改变undefined的值:

var a = {};
a.b === undefined; // true because property b is not set
undefined = 42;
a.b === undefined; // false

由于undefined的可变性，通过typeof检查undefined通常是一个更好的主意:

var a = {};
typeof a.b == "undefined"; // always true

Haskell's use of Maybe and Just. Maybe a is a type constructor that returns a type of Just a, but Maybe Int won't accept just an Int, it requires it to be a Just Int or Nothing. So in essence in haskell parlance Just Int is about as much of an Int as an apple is an orange. The only connection is that Just 5 returns a type of Maybe Interger, which can be constructed with the function Just and an Integer argument. This makes sense but is about as hard to explain as it can theoretically be, which is the purpose of haskell right? So is Just really JustKindaLikeButNotAtAll yea sorta, and is Maybe really a KindaLooksLikeOrIsNothing, yea sorta again.

-- Create a function that returns a Maybe Int, and return a 5, which know is definitly Int'able
>  let x :: Maybe Int; x = 5;
<interactive>:1:24:
    No instance for (Num (Maybe Int))
      arising from the literal `5' at <interactive>:1:24
    Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Num (Maybe Int))
    In the expression: 5
    In the definition of `x': x = 5

>  Just 5  
Just 5
it :: Maybe Integer

    -- Create a function x which takes an Int
>  let x :: Int -> Int; x _ = 0;
x :: Int -> Int
-- Try to give it a Just Int
>  x $ Just 5                   

<interactive>:1:4:
    Couldn't match expected type `Int' against inferred type `Maybe t'
    In the second argument of `($)', namely `Just 5'
    In the expression: x $ Just 5
    In the definition of `it': it = x $ Just 5

祝你好运读到这篇文章，我希望它是正确的。

在Perl中，对象只是被祝福的引用，所以在运行时改变对象的类是小菜一碟:

package Foo;
sub new { bless {}, $_[0] }
package Bar;
package main;
my $foo = Foo->new;
ref($foo); # => "Foo"
bless $foo, 'Bar';
ref($foo); # => "Bar"

我很惊讶其他语言不能做到这一点。多么有用的功能啊!
