It's interesting (at least to me) because it's different from anything else out there. The way it runs, the way it is compiled and the language itself are nearly unique. It's also easy to bootstrap on very small machines and fairly easy to implement. It's the light saber of programming languages, "a more elegant language for a more elegant time". But then, that could just be the nostalgia talking...

What is the culture here on correcting wrong star wars quotes?

"An elegant weapon for a more _civilized_ age"

Polite pedantry is generally okay here. If done well and including a source, it may even get a bunch of upvotes (a somewhat objective, though imperfect, metric of cultural acceptance).

Thank you, it didn't sound quite right, but wasn't sure why...
