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

There's a lot of logos with hidden stuff like that.

Amazon's logo has an arrow going from A to Z, implying they sell everything "from A to Z"

The Tostitos logo has two people holding chips (the Ts) and a bowl of salsa (the dot on the I):

Toyota's logo has every letter of the company name in it:

The LG logo has the letters L and G in it:

I hate it so much, but the Baskin Robbins BR has the number 31 in it

Now if only LG could make a microwave where the LED display didn’t go out after a year.

It always pissed me off that they use this as an example of white space use. No one sees it.

Because a prof showed them on the first class. But in any case, if logo designers are the only ones to notice, the logo fails its purpose.

[-] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Took me like a minute to find it

[-] oo1@lemmings.world 9 points 10 months ago

There's also a spoon to symbolise that the couriers were fed soup.

[-] iLove@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

Holy shit that's crazy

I'm glad I wasn't the only uncultured swine unaware of the ++++ = #

[-] fermuch@lemmy.ml 17 points 10 months ago

Yes, and that is on purpose! It was always meant to be a joke on C++ :)

Issue is, Rust is not a drop-in replacement for C. The memory safety features are just one part, and since Rust is also a "weakly" functional language, thus its prefered to write such code with it.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago

Anything that is drop-in replacement for C (or C++ for that matter) is going to be awful because of the same compatibility burden, imo

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!

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"

There's also D. You could just upgrade to D.

It’s so good it got not only one, but two standard libraries.

C₊𝅄⨧⁺ᐩ is used for building firmware for hyperdimensional singularity processors.

[-] kionite231@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

How did you insert those unicodes????

Go here and Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V

I especially like ⨹

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.

C(ubed) logo from meme

I'm starting to have my suspicions

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

always wanted to C in the 4th dimension

[-] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

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

"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."

[-] mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Lol I had windows 11 before it was cool

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