Can you guess which programming languages are represented by these pictures? Post your answers below!

Take your guess (or skip it) and then it's your turn. Post your own pictures that you think are a metaphor for a programming language or other technology and let us guess. 

Personally, I'd love to see a picture that represents kubernetes+docker+minkube+whatever.  I've been studying these things this week and, wow, there are a lot of steps required to get anything working. It's worth it, no doubt, but damn.

Don't have any pictures? Post the name of a song or movie that you think is a good metaphor for a language or technology. If I had to pick a song to represent kubernetes+everything, I guess it would be this. If this song brings back memories, dang, you're old.

Can it be Python? I know Python syntax uses white space and indentation but so is many other languages. Tinker toy and spaghetti seems like a contradiction but it does represent Python, simple yet unstructured and tangled nature.

No guesses yet? Here's a hint for the pictures:

White space, tinker toys, spaghetti.

It's three languages, and you got the first one right.

White space = Python

Tinker Toys = Assembler (you assemble tinker toys)

Spaghetti = BASIC (GO TO creates spaghetti code)
