Nix.
Supposedly simple, but nobody except his acolytes can understand him.
Everything technically fits together contractually, but good luck with the fine print.
Delights in the torment and frustration of others. The fact that he can always lay the blame on them as architects of their own doom is just icing on the hellish cake.

Further note: It helps to read this description in the Robot Devil's jovial voice.
And add a few moments of delectable "mwahahaha" here and there...

I actually think the Robot devil is C, powerful, talented and dangerous.
If anyone cares I would say The professor is assembly language.

If Java offered a trade of hands so I could play an instrument, it would be the best thing Java ever did to me.
Nibbler is Lua? Small, powerful, can bite.

Presumably Eiffel, given his penchant for contracts.

Wouldn't that be Flexo?
Not as well known as Bender, but just as capable. In fact, probably more capable according to those who know him, but it's so close that hardly anyone cares.
Tends to get flattened when people try mixing his work with existing Bender work. The two just don't go well together.
