Evolution of C

91 comments

I've been a professional programmer for nearly a decade and I just realized that C# is C++++ with the pluses stacked
- I know right‽ feels like when I learnt about the FedEx arrow for the first time
  
  What FedEx arrow?
  
  o shit
- I'm glad I wasn't the only uncultured swine unaware of the ++++ = #
- Yes, and that is on purpose! It was always meant to be a joke on C++ :)
- TIL.
- Me too - maybe because I was distracted by the irony that C# devs are typically the opposite of sharp... Or because it's MicroShit and I didn't give a flippin fuck ;)

  Don't cut yourself on that edge kiddo

- Change is hard.
- It's not that bad, besides who cares with machines being as fast as they are nowadays?
- I once saw an issue someone made for some database and said that they were learning Rust and if the database was rewritten in Rust then they could help contribute!

- TesseraC+
- C Tesseract has this interstellar vibe and brings quotes like the following, but with a totally different meaning:
  "Years of [compilation error] messages"
  "People disn't build this Tesseract"; "Not yet... But one day. Not you and me but people, people who've evolved beyond the four dimensions we know"
  "You've got to leave something behind"
- That's a Hype_rC_ube.
- I'm waiting for the marvel cinematic universe movie about filling out TPS reports and preparing for Y2k... it's guaranteed to do better than Black Adam.
  
  Wasn't that the Loki show, where all of time is run by a boring dystopian corporate bureaucracy?
  Now that I think of it, I guess you're right, that show probably did do better than Black Adam.

Where C♭

C
C plus plus
C plus plus plus plus
C plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus
C plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus plus
- There's also D. You could just upgrade to D.
  
  It’s so good it got not only one, but two standard libraries.
  
  That's a transfinite induction
- theres also c+

C₊𝅄⨧⁺ᐩ is used for building firmware for hyperdimensional singularity processors.
- How did you insert those unicodes????
  
  Go here and Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V
  I especially like ⨹

  On PC, you can hold Alt and press a number combination, like 1 or 257, to get an ASCII smiley. Not Unicode, but hey, it's something

This isn't the evolution of C at all. It's all just one language and you're simply stuck in a lower dimension with a dimensionally compatible cross-section.

I'm starting to have my suspicions

I'm not ready for 4D, just let me try out C Lattice on a few smaller projects first.

always wanted to C in the 4th dimension

"works on my machine."
- "Just a heads up that we'll be shipping your machine to the client, since it's the only machine on Earth known to support the software. You're getting the spare machine out of the basement. Super fast Cyrix processor. Looks like it boots to Windows 11 release 3, but they've written it 3.11 for some reason."
  
  Lol I had windows 11 before it was cool
  
  I wonder if I could upgrade it to Windows 95 and run X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter on it.
- Closes ticket, marks Git issue as closed

I really like the theory that the Carbon language is that 3-dimension one—a carbon lattice

C
C plus
C plus plus
C sharp
C sharp sharp
C through time and space
Edit: formatting

+esseraC+
🤔

The last one needs the prongs sticking out to make it a hyperhashtag.

C ube?

Fun fact, C didn't have a lot of things like Classes and was often distributed or stored alongside various libraries so it was C Plus (as in addition to) Libraries before it was C++, and somebody decided the next iteration was C with 4 pluses, which forms a #

🤣

CnD where n represents any dimension.
