I don't know what that means, but I would totally advise against
getting a tattoo of code in any particular language. Languages in the
tech world have a huge fashion component, the popularity of a language
is always driven partly by that language's merits and partly by who's
using what at any particular moment. If Ruby becomes the language
script kiddies favor, you'll be like, shit, I should have gotten a
Smalltalk tattoo instead (or whatever). Or you could become some huge
Haskell guru or God knows what. Maybe Arc will change everybody's life
if/when Paul Graham finally releases it. Maybe Perl will become cool
again. Who knows? Be sensible and old-fashioned and get a nice,
traditional tattoo of a naked chick with a devil tail riding some kind
of phallic military machinery.
