I loved the issue about the "sauce code", and "compiling the sauce".

There's so many puns here waiting to happen:

- Finding 'bugs' in the 'sauce'

- Continuous testing and integration

- "Forking"

... what else? Contribute your puns below :p



The language of coding is almost all metaphorical, some food & food-adjacent terms offhand:

  - bit, byte
  - server
  - curry
  - salted hash
  - spaghetti code
  - code smell
  - syntactic sugar
  - java
And the hardware world is full of fruit -- Adafruit, Apple, and many flavors of Pi.


> - curry

Fun fact, this was named after Haskell Curry. Haskell is also named after him.

Named after Haskell Brooks Curry. The Brook programming language is also named after him!

It also works better as a verb than Schönfinkel or Frege: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_Sch%C3%B6nfinkel#Work

Although now I'm tempted to use more fregging in my functional code.

Continuous tasting and integration


If you're growing your own pepper you'll want to 'pull' them. 'Merge' the ingredients in a pot. And I guess, once fermented, the last stage is to 'solution-ise' it in a blender.


Don't forget the Brew and Bottle steps.


I had to laugh at the "don't let it get hot" in the readme.
