Good evening friends, it’s Cowboy Coder. This evening, we’re going to take you through three generations of code, (1) machine language, (2) assembly and (3) object oriented. We’re also going to take you on a journey through musical history as we explore the relationship between music and code generations. That’s right, it’s a surprising concept, but listen how well I pull it off, here we go!
VERSE 1:
From a distant side out of space and time
Came the very first programmable line (hey!)
The Number derived was quite divine
Ada and Babbage had the right design
They set the world on fire with an unmistakable shine
They brought forth to the world an entirely new bloodline
CHORUS:
Algol, Fortran, someones got a new stand
Coboll, Pascal, Driving to the promised land
Basic, C, building up the object tree
Java, C++, bus it to the memory
Python, PHP, Now you get your code for free
Machine language gave way to assembly
Ontology recapitulates phylogeny
Objected oriented, welcome generation three
All marching to the 3rd generation
Swapping it out for more precise information
All marching to the 3rd generation
Swapping it out for more precise information
VERSE 2:
We saw machine language was the way to go
It processed right away and was never slow
Who needs an opcode when you’ve got ones and zeros
Staying up all night is gonna make you a hero
Just make sure all your code is really tight
Debugging any code is quite a fight
Low level simplified - computing revolution
Booth ARC 2 - they offered a solution
With 3GL BASIC-ly I’m just saying
Towards the 3rd generation, high level destination
Who’s down with OOP Objective orientation
Now get ready for the chorus assembling anticipation
CHORUS:
Algol, Fortran, someones got a new stand
Coboll, Pascal, Driving to the promised land
Basic, C, building up the object tree
Java, C++, bus it to the memory
Python, PHP, Now you get your code for free
Machine language gave way to assembly
Ontology recapitulates phylogeny
Objected oriented, welcome generation three
All marching to the 3rd generation
Swapping it out for more precise information
All marching to the 3rd generation
Swapping it out for more precise information
Verse 3:
MC Lars and Cowboy Coder go together go like C
++ and Java, on any machine
Ubiquitous, running independently
Standardizing data, attributes and properties
Getters and setters, fetching integers probably
Objects have a notion of this, methodology
Faster than a Python, and built for speed
Dynamically typed, scaled like the IoT
What is object oriented? A programming paradigm
Encapsulated functions, polymorphic saves you time
Dot class coding, the final iteration
With run time elements, standardization
Object Pascal, scripts simulated
Integers, floating with strings lacerated
A Boolean, systematic binary equation
Lots of Character I’m talking Third Generation
LISTENER: Wow! Three generations of code, represented by three genres. but can you mix them all together, Cowboy Coder?
COWBOY CODER: Please, if you thought my musical debut wasn't going to be ambitious, (set [listener:corrected] )
