 Babel fish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Babel fish was a useful plot device for Adams, as it allowed various alien races to communicate while speaking different languages.
The fish's name refers to the Tower of Babel, a Biblical story, which describes events in Abrahamic theology which led to God confusing the languages of Man in order to prevent the Tower's construction, among other things.
The Babel fish also triggered a joke about the existence of God, since the Babel fish was put forth as a fideist example for the non-existence of a deity:

 Game Reviews M - SPAG
Unfortunately, the game doesn't quite live up to these promises of originality: once one has found the crucial action to upset the orderly progression of events and enter the game proper, the pace of the narrative slackens, and the plot turns into a traditional treasure-hunt.
Infocom's games "A Mind Forever Voyaging" and "Suspended" are similar in some ways to "The Mind Electric," and those games come with manuals explaining the nature of the world into which the player is plunged, and details on the kind of commands that might be expected to work in that world.
The shareware game "Enhanced" doesn't come with a manual, but it does have a gentle introductory section in which the player is prodded into experimenting with the game's capabilities.

I originally stuck to "one person, one vision" games, as that is what is most interesting to me, but I eventually decided to include ports as well (though undoubtedly ports carry less weight).
Games for modern platforms are mentioned only when the programmer has written at least one classic title.
Used for games ported from other formats or when a game was designed by someone else--implies a lack of creative control.

 What Language Do You Need? Comparing Programming Languages - Cprogramming.com
C is a popular language, especially in game programming, because it doesn't have the extra packaging of the object-oriented C++.
Nevertheless, Scheme is quite popular in academic circles and is the introductory language of MIT's computer science department (and is taught as part of Harvard's introductory sequence).
The take home message is that different programming languages have their advantages and disadvantages, and picking the appropriate language for the task is often an important step in the process of developing an application or program.

His book Tower of Babel examines the new directions antievolutionists have taken lately, but goes beyond a mere recounting of recent history by proposing a new avenue of counterattack: linguistics.
Overall, Tower of Babel is not a bad book (Pennock is a capable author with an agreeable writing style).
His computer analogy was well stated and emotionally persuasive, but one needs a stronger basis than argument from analogy.

We dream of paradise, forward and backward, and it's no wonder that the electronic media were early on celebrated as the pentecostal miracle of worldwide understanding and dissemination.
Wolfgang Welsch said we thus regained the state prior to the construction of the Tower of Babel, and if not paradise, at least a comparatively paradisical state.
It plays and plays, it makes its bids, seeking what is most conspicuous, and this just barely provokes, if anyone, only the art critics and exegetes.
