…Okay, I have to admit that I don’t get the Flower Pot thing at all. And I’ve coded in HTML before. What the heck?
I was thinking the same
Html isn't considered a "true" programming language, therefore, coding in it is like submitting an flower pot instead of an essay.
Wrong. HTML is purely a mark-up language that states what things are and where they are. Therefore 'this is a flower pot'.
HTML and LaTEX are display/formatting languages, not programming languages. UNIX Shell is not a programming language either.
Each of these languages (markup or not), with the exception of HTML, are Turing complete. HTML is not a (true) programming language, just as a flowerpot is not an essay.
Also, UNIX Shell and LaTeX are Turing complete. Do we really have to ensure the complete validity of every nuance of this comic? Seems a little trivial if you just want a chuckle.
the one about Latex is so damn true… sucky commands, incredibly difficult, boring, slow, but it looks good in the end (not worth the effort tho ^_^)

I read the comic this is from regularly. I laugh so hard every time I read it, mainly with LATEX and HTML.

Actually, its an esoteric reference to an animated flower gif image (over used in html in the late 90's)
The Java one is the best.
They don't have one for Eiffel. I'm sad now. :(
I don't get the C++ one
In C++, classes usually have copy constructors; but then you can wind up writing your functions to take objects instead of references to objects, and making a temporary copy on every function call.
