Fat XXX's "If Hemingway wrote JavaScript" is a great piece of imaginative writing, speculating about the coding styles that various literary titans (Shakespeare, Hemingway, Dickens, Breton and more) would have employed:
function theSeriesOfFIBONACCI(theSize) {
//a CALCKULATION in two acts.
//employ'ng the humourous logick of JAVA-SCRIPTE//Dramatis Personae
var theResult; //an ARRAY to contain THE NUMBERS
var theCounter; //a NUMBER, serv'nt to the FOR LOOP//ACT I: in which a ZERO is added for INITIATION
//[ENTER: theResult]
//Upon the noble list bestow a zero
var theResult = [0];//ACT II: a LOOP in which the final TWO NUMBERS are QUEREED and SUMM'D
//[ENTER: theCounter]
//Commence at one and venture o'er the numbers
for (theCounter = 1; theCounter < theSize; theCounter++) {
//By divination set adjoining members
theResult[theCounter] = (theResult[theCounter-1]||1) + theResult[Math.max(0, theCounter-2)];
}//'Tis done, and here's the answer.
return theResult;//[Exuent]
}
