Line 8:
Over the years, the figure of the 'real programmer' was taken up and adapted as new and more powerful programming languages were created. If the real programmer of the eighties did it "all in [[FORTRAN]]" instead of [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]],<ref>[http://www.ee.ryerson.ca/~elf/hack/realmen.html ''"...Real Programmers use FORTRAN. Quiche Eaters use PASCAL..."'']</ref> one of the nineties might have done it "all in [[C (programming language)|C]]" rather than [[C++]] or [[Java (programming language)|Java]], or "all in [[Perl]]" rather than [[Python (programming language)|Python]] or [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]].
The term is often used to describe a more bare-metal way of doing something – for example: "Real Programmers don't use [[integrated development environment|IDEs]], they write programs using <code>cat > [[a.out]]</code>" (that is, they write machine-readable binary files from beginning to end without making any mistakes).
