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

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

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 #

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

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

"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

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Wasn't that the Loki show, where all of time is run by a boring dystopian corporate bureaucracy?

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"
