Hi this is Paul.
I love Businessweek and think it is one of the finest editorial organizations in the world. I love their web team and think they are hilarious and weird which is my finest praise.
This is the code I wrote to write my article. It's not good code. It's just all the little odds and ends you use when you're writing a big long article about code and you are desperate to tell a clear honest story about something enormous and diverse. Lots of these languages I've barely used, like Fortran or K. Others are old favorites.
I look forward to your feedback.
