Languages

Python

1. The Zen of Python

    import this

   It will print the Zen of Python.

2. XKCD Comics

   import antigravity

   It will open your default browser, and open a classic XKCD comic.

3. Hello World

   import __hello__

   It will print Hello World!

4. April Fool

   from __future__ import barry_as_FLUFL
   1<>2

   This April Fool joke was posted about Barry Warsaw.

5. C-Style braces instead of indentation

   from __future__ import braces

   This will give the following Output

   File "<stdin>", line 1
   SyntaxError: not a chance

Go

1. Easter Egg in net package

   In src/net/net.go, we find this variable:

   // aLongTimeAgo is a non-zero time, far in the past, used for
   // immediate cancelation of dials.
   aLongTimeAgo = time.Unix(233431200, 0)

   This Unix timestamp converts to May 25, 1977 @ 6pm. The day Star Wars opened in theaters -- hence "a long time ago." Cute!

Terminal

ASCII drawings and cute jokes

1. Mysterious super cow power

   $ apt-get moo
                 (__) 
                 (oo) 
           /------\/ 
          / |    ||   
         *  /\---/\ 
            ~~   ~~   
   ..."Have you mooed today?"...
   

2. Daniel Burrows Easter Egg

   $ aptitude moo 
   There are no Easter Eggs in this program. 
   $ aptitude -v moo 
   There really are no Easter Eggs in this program. 
   $ aptitude -vv moo 
   Didn't I already tell you that there are no Easter Eggs in this program? 
   $ aptitude -vvv moo 
   Stop it! 
   $ aptitude -vvvv moo 
   Okay, okay, if I give you an Easter Egg, will you go away? 
   $ aptitude -vvvvv moo 
   All right, you win.
   
                               /----\
                       -------/      \
                      /               \
                     /                |
   -----------------/                  --------\
   ----------------------------------------------
   $ aptitude -vvvvvv moo 
   What is it? It's an elephant being eaten by a snake, of course.
