I was once chatting with a fellow at church who programs mainframes.  He
said "oh yeah we program in a 4GL language.  We tell it to read a file
and it spits out the Fortran necessary to do all the reading and

Which immediately made me think of Ruby's
File.read

So...just sharing it because it was funny at the time :)
