我几年前使用的一个Fortran编译器有一个有趣的特性:(A)数字先存储在高字节;(b)数字按地址传递给子程序;(c)没有在编译时检查长度。

所以你可以写一个这样的程序:(如果我把语法弄乱了，请原谅。我已经很久没有写Fortran了。)

INTEGER*2 FUNCTION TIMESTWO (INTEGER*2 N)
RETURN N*2

... THEN CALL THIS SOMEWHERE WITH A LONG INTEGER ...

INTEGER*4 I, J

I=42
J=TIMESTWO(I)

J的最终值是…零!

为什么?因为传入的值是4个字节，但被调用的函数只查看前两个字节。由于前两个是0，它将0乘以2并返回它。然后将此返回值转换回四个字节。

当我第一次遇到它时，它非常神秘。几乎我传递给某些函数的每个数字都被解释为零!

在php中:

easter_date -获取给定年份复活节午夜的Unix时间戳

Int easter_date ([Int $year])

这并不奇怪或令人惊讶，但这让我总是说WTF:

语法或标识符名称的大小写敏感性。

大多数具有它的语言似乎只是因为C具有它。这样做没有什么好的理由。

我一直是PHP错误的忠实粉丝，当在一行中使用两个冒号时脱离上下文:

解析错误:语法错误，第3行/path/to/file/error.php中的T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM异常

第一次遇到这种情况时，我完全被弄糊涂了。

Haskell's use of Maybe and Just. Maybe a is a type constructor that returns a type of Just a, but Maybe Int won't accept just an Int, it requires it to be a Just Int or Nothing. So in essence in haskell parlance Just Int is about as much of an Int as an apple is an orange. The only connection is that Just 5 returns a type of Maybe Interger, which can be constructed with the function Just and an Integer argument. This makes sense but is about as hard to explain as it can theoretically be, which is the purpose of haskell right? So is Just really JustKindaLikeButNotAtAll yea sorta, and is Maybe really a KindaLooksLikeOrIsNothing, yea sorta again.

-- Create a function that returns a Maybe Int, and return a 5, which know is definitly Int'able
>  let x :: Maybe Int; x = 5;
<interactive>:1:24:
    No instance for (Num (Maybe Int))
      arising from the literal `5' at <interactive>:1:24
    Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Num (Maybe Int))
    In the expression: 5
    In the definition of `x': x = 5

>  Just 5  
Just 5
it :: Maybe Integer

    -- Create a function x which takes an Int
>  let x :: Int -> Int; x _ = 0;
x :: Int -> Int
-- Try to give it a Just Int
>  x $ Just 5                   

<interactive>:1:4:
    Couldn't match expected type `Int' against inferred type `Maybe t'
    In the second argument of `($)', namely `Just 5'
    In the expression: x $ Just 5
    In the definition of `it': it = x $ Just 5
