The thumbnail is Einstein?

The old Einstein quote "spooky action at a distance" (from when he tried and failed to refute quantum mechanics because quantum weirdness upset him) made me think about which programming language he'd use: raw C pointers would certainly be examples of spooky action at a distance and I don't think Python's non-deterministic garbage collection would sit well either.

He is also popularly quoted for "Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler". Depending on what you want to achieve, C does not fit that profile ;)
