poem in code
ِAnother thing different from “code poet” and “poem code” is called “poem in code” this may be confusing a bit at first but you shouldn’t be .
“poem code” is the code written in a poetic way.
“code poet” is the programmer writing in that way.
if you encounter a piece of poem written in a program source code or in the program comment this is just a “poem in a code” and has no relation at all in making that code a “poem code” .
a “poem code” is a piece of code have some characteristics making it an outstand of other code.and the existence of poems in a code doesn’t make that code itself a “poem code” .
i believe it is a way to make the programmer expresses himself to the world “here come mr….”
if you have ever used “wordpress” and opened the default theme css file you will find some piece of poem written at the end of file
/* “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I’m half crazy all for the love of you.
It won’t be a stylish marriage, I can’t afford a carriage.
But you’ll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.” */
this programmer is at ease when writing his code , he enjoys his work as an artist creates a painting he wants to make us share his feeling, and feel that a file of code is an enjoyable read
in another way also i see that this principle my be used in further prospect.
it can be a way to represent my culture ,favorites and thinking to others and hence open a way of communications between programmers all over world.
so an Arab programmer for example can write in his program code file the following in the comment.
“دع عنك لومى فإن اللوم إغراء و داونى بالتى كانت هى الداء”
but i must warn that there are restricted rules must be taken if anyone uses that way he should never put any content regarding religion ,Intolerance , violence , sexuality,Racism
or anything hurts people feelings..if this prospect would be given concern i think these rules should be put as a base to measure a code’s acceptance and level.

Yes it was obvious from putting a poem in their default theme that this is their prospect. thank you for your opinion it has great value especially from a programmer like u
