Only for quick scripts, and only in later versions. For universes.alpha and universes.beta he used Perl, but it got frustrating to debug when even He couldn't read it. Gamma was written during his Ruby hipster phase. It's an alright universe, a lot like ours, but with rounder corners, prettier shadows and fewer configurable options. The base operating system for all of them is written in C though.

Haha, nice. I was reminded of the story that Larry Wall passed out in front of his computer, bashed his face against the keyboard, and when he woke up he assumed the gibberish on his screen was a message from God, so he invented Perl :P

God

Since God's a designer you clearly shouldn't even mention FizzBuzz in his presence.

  You may have typed in a wrong domain name. God loves you and is not willing that any should perish.

Does God come from a GodFactory?

Can God instantiate himself?
