In debates over merits of programming paradigms, languages, and tools, often the way ordinary humans think is cited. For example, some opinions dismiss non-imperative programming "because people think in terms of states", or non-object-oriented programming "because people think in terms of manipulating objects".

Real programmers get their job done in whatever way they see fit, despite what people say about real programmers.

Today I am surprised to find out that a Google search on "sus" does not turn up The True SUS --- Single Unix Specification --- in the first 20 hits.

Worse, the first hit is some Windows Update wickedness.

Asking a functional programmer to always write continuations by hand is the same as asking an object-oriented programmer to always set up and use virtual method tables manually.
