programs compiling on the first try (idea)

A magical myth, like unicorns.

Actually, my theory is that every computer programmer is allowed one of these a year. Most of the time it gets wasted on some Hello world or other test program, but the look on someone's face when they see their 100,000 line program compile on the first try is priceless. Of course, then they go insane trying to figure out what null string the compiler accidentally got pointed to...
