Write In C (APCSA pp09-10)

Write in C Lyrics (in memory of Dennis Ritchie)
When I find my code in tons of trouble, Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom: "Write in C."
As the deadline fast approaches, And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers: "Write in C."
Write in C, write in C, Write in C, oh, write in C.
LISP is dead and buried. “Write in C.”
I used to write a lot of FORTRAN, For science it worked flawlessly.
Good Luck using it for graphics! Write in C.
If you've just spent nearly 30 hours Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to: :Write in C.”
Write in C, write in C, Write in C, yeah, write in C.
BASIC is for wimps. “Write in C.”
Write in C, write in C, Write in C, oh, write in C.
Pascal won't quite cut it. Write in C.
Don't even mention COBOL. “Write in C.”
And when the screen is fuzzy, And the editor is bugging me.
I'm sick of ones and zeros, “Write in C.”
A thousand people swear that T.P. Seven is the one for me.
I hate the word PROCEDURE, “Write in C.”
PL1 is '80s, Write in C.
The government loves ADA, “Write in C.”
Java's not quite there yet, “Write in C.”

The song "Write in C" is an adaptation of the song "Let It Be" by The Beatles. The
song is often attributed to Kriston J. Rehberg and although he claims that the
original author of the song is Jay Piecora, I think the author is Brian Marshall:
"Written in 1987 while I was attending the University of
Waterloo. After I posted the original text on the wall of
the Computer Science Club, the song was soon traveling
around the Internet. The song has morphed a bit over
the years, with new verses appearing, disappearing, and
some lines changing. But that's the nature of filk, isn't it?"
Brian Marshall
