Long ago I wrote out an "XXX is like" list.
Long gone.
And no doubt before the days of Light Sabres, so it may have in part gone
nothing like:

C is like a superbly sharpened Katana with no hand guard.

Assembler is like unto a 2 bladed double ended Katana with no guard and
maybe no hilt.
Nowadays that would be a double ended light sabre.

Pascal, hand guard, buckler, cotton wool.

COBOL Cutlass, rusty, blunt, very large.
