The Forgotten Heir To The C++ Throne

programming-languages-memes, d-language-memes, c++-memes, rust-memes, golang-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The programming language family drama continues! Here we have D (the forgotten language with the red logo) watching as the cool kids C, Go, and Rust hang out at the programming party. Poor D is literally wearing a party hat but nobody remembers it was supposed to be C++'s successor before all these trendy new languages showed up.

D actually had garbage collection and modern features before it was cool, but now it's like that uncle who keeps saying "I invented that!" while everyone awkwardly sips their coffee. Meanwhile, Go is getting all the cloud jobs, Rust is being crowned for memory safety, and C just keeps trucking along like the immortal language it is.

Recursive Realization: The Developer Time Machine

The endless cycle of programmer self-loathing continues! At 15, you're a Java hotshot thinking you're God's gift to computing. By 20, you've "evolved" to Python while cringing at your Java days. Then at 30, you're wielding C++ and Rust, looking back at your Python self with pure embarrassment. And the cycle continues... Future you is already facepalming at current you's tech choices. It's like each programming language is just another awkward yearbook photo waiting to happen.

Not Actually Structless

THE AUDACITY! Someone has the NERVE to mock DOOM's source code for having "no structs, no classes" only to get absolutely DESTROYED when they actually look inside and find—GASP—structs everywhere! 😱 The betrayal! The drama! It's like bragging about how your vegan friend eats no meat and then finding their freezer PACKED with bacon. The shocked cat face is literally all of us when our smug programming hot takes get obliterated by actual facts. Moral of the story: maybe CHECK the legendary code before trashing it, you absolute AMATEUR! 💅

Pointers: The Memory Monster Only Veterans Can Tame

The monster labeled "POINTERS" terrifying SpongeBob is the perfect metaphor for the existential dread they cause. Meanwhile, the smug SpongeBob represents C/C++ developers who've danced with these memory demons for years, looking down on newbies who've only known the comfort of garbage collection. Nothing says "I've seen things" like manually managing memory and casually dereferencing NULL pointers before breakfast. It's like watching someone panic about a spider while you're holding a tarantula.

The Speed vs. Simplicity Showdown

C++ developers writing 1000 lines of memory management and pointer arithmetic just to shave 3 milliseconds off execution time while Python devs accomplish the same task during their coffee break. Sure, your code is 100x faster, but I've been home for 6 hours already.

Typeless Languages Go Brr

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of these students using a 32-bit integer for EVERYTHING! 💀 Meanwhile, that poor 8-bit char and 16-bit short are just STANDING THERE, completely IGNORED and UNEMPLOYED! The DRAMA! The WASTE of precious memory! It's like buying a mansion just to store your socks! Those memory-efficient data types are literally BEGGING to be used, but nooooo, let's just throw 32 bits at EVERYTHING because who needs optimization when you have 16GB of RAM, right?! The 1970s programmers are ROLLING in their retirement homes right now!

C Is Uncontrollable

The conspiracy theorist's guide to programming languages. While everyone's worried about memory leaks, the real threat is corporate control. C remains the last bastion of freedom in a world where tech giants puppeteer our code. Rust? A Google puppet. JavaScript? FAANG's playground. Meanwhile, C sits there with its pointer arithmetic and segfaults saying "at least I'll let you shoot yourself in the foot with complete freedom ." The tinfoil hat comes with every compiler installation.
