nifty, I knew the original joke with just three elements (missing ‘agile’).

Bringing the idea further:
’simple’ or ‘easy’ programming language:
http://www.simplecodeworks.com/

worst: brainf**k

hype: strange page with ‘java’ in the headline

powerful: groovy (this tells something about hype, too)

funny: (first useless, second is BETA)

nice: Nice

safe: Scala

cool: K

fast: ocaml

new: D

productive: ruby

dynamic: generic page

static: QCL (http://tph.tuwien.ac.at/~oemer/qcl.html)

quick: quick

slow: first useless, second is java

All this must mean something.
