Sugar candy
(gcide) | Sugar \Sug"ar\, n. [OE. sugre, F. sucre (cf. It. zucchero, Sp.
az['u]car), fr. Ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. Skr. [,c]arkar[=a]
sugar, gravel; cf. Per. shakar. Cf. Saccharine, Sucrose.]
1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance,
of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by
crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as
the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It
is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food
and drink. Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the
Note below.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as
the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the
raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it
includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the
glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper,
dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true
sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates.
See Carbohydrate. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are
ketone alcohols of the formula C6H12O6, and they turn
the plane of polarization to the right or the left.
They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by
the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are
themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and
carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet
produced artificially belongs to this class. The
sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose
anhydrides of the formula C12H22O11. They are usually
not fermentable as such (cf. Sucrose), and they act
on polarized light.
[1913 Webster]
2. By extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or
appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous
white crystalline substance having a sweet taste.
[1913 Webster]
3. Compliment or flattery used to disguise or render
acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words.
[Colloq.]

in malt. See Maltose.

distinct from, the sugars. See Mannite.

also heart sugar. See Inosite.

candygrammar
(foldoc) | candygrammar
A programming-language grammar that is mostly
syntactic sugar; a play on "candygram". COBOL, {Apple
Computer}'s Hypertalk language, and many 4GLs share this
property. The intent is to be as English-like as possible and
thus easier for unskilled people to program. However,
syntax isn't what makes programming hard; it's the mental
effort and organisation required to specify an algorithm
precisely. Thus "candygrammar" languages are just as
difficult to program in, and far more painful for the
experienced hacker.
GLS notes: The overtones from the 1977 Chevy Chase "Jaws"
parody on Saturday Night Live should not be overlooked.
Someone lurking outside an apartment door tries to get the
occupant to open up, while ominous music plays in the
background. The last attempt is a half-hearted "Candygram!"
When the door is opened, a shark bursts in and chomps the poor
occupant. There is a moral here for those attracted to
candygrammars.

candygrammar
(jargon) | candygrammar
n.
A programming-language grammar that is mostly syntactic sugar; the term
is also a play on ‘candygram’. COBOL, Apple's Hypertalk language, and a
lot of the so-called ‘4GL’ database languages share this property. The
usual intent of such designs is that they be as English-like as possible,
on the theory that they will then be easier for unskilled people to
program. This intention comes to grief on the reality that syntax isn't
what makes programming hard; it's the mental effort and organization
required to specify an algorithm precisely that costs. Thus the invariable
result is that ‘candygrammar’ languages are just as difficult to program in
as terser ones, and far more painful for the experienced hacker.
[The overtones from the old Chevy Chase skit on Saturday Night Live should
not be overlooked. This was a Jaws parody. Someone lurking outside an
apartment door tries all kinds of bogus ways to get the occupant to open
up, while ominous music plays in the background. The last attempt is a
half-hearted “Candygram!” When the door is opened, a shark bursts in and
chomps the poor occupant. [There is a similar gag in “Blazing Saddles”
—ESR] There is a moral here for those attracted to candygrammars. Note
that, in many circles, pretty much the same ones who remember Monty Python
sketches, all it takes is the word “Candygram!”, suitably timed, to get
people rolling on the floor. — GLS]

eye candy
(jargon) | eye candy
/i:' kand`ee/, n.
[from mainstream slang “ear candy”] A display of some sort that's presented
to lusers to keep them distracted while the program performs necessary
background tasks. “Give 'em some eye candy while the back-end slurps that
BLOB into core.” Reported as mainstream usage among players of
graphics-heavy computer games. We're also told this term is mainstream
slang for soft pornography, but that sense does not appear to be live among
hackers.
