A Christian recommending a serpent-named language to get closer to God is pretty entertaining. What about Go "and make disciples"?

Ah yes, go, a language created by one of the most powerful modern institutions. Its rules and dogma are pretty strict and it’s hard to change them without being in the inner circle. Some people on the outside obsess over the language and sing praises over the rules it imposes while others spend their days endlessly complaining about them.

This would be a perfect language to represent Christianity.

Come on, this one's easy...

“And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring Forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein”

Gen 9:7

So you’re meant to use Forth, do lots of multiplication in it, and do it all on a Macintosh obviously.
