Will Be Widely Adopted In 30 Years

cpp-memes, programming-languages-memes, language-adoption-memes, hello-world-memes, standards-committee-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The C++ Committee gets a gold medal for creating the most complex language standard that somehow keeps getting more convoluted with each revision. Meanwhile, the guy celebrating with champagne and screaming at a simple "Hello World" print statement is the perfect representation of C++ developers who've spent 6 hours debugging template metaprogramming only to realize they forgot a semicolon.

The bottom panel delivers the killing blow - while other programming languages stand proudly on their podiums, evolving gracefully and gaining adoption, C++ is over there chugging champagne and making a mess, still convinced it's the superior choice despite scaring away new developers faster than a segmentation fault at runtime.

And yet... we'll still be wrestling with pointer arithmetic and undefined behavior in 2053. The language that refuses to die gracefully!

We Are Not The Same

You use if statements with spaces after the keyword. I use the proper syntax with no space. That stern look isn't just for show—it's the face of someone who's saved kilobytes across a career by eliminating unnecessary whitespace. Ten years from now, when your codebase is 17KB larger than mine for no functional benefit, you'll understand. Efficiency isn't just about algorithms; it's a lifestyle.

Boolean Variables Be Like

Oh snap! This is Boolean variables in their natural habitat - doing the splits between TRUE and FALSE with absolutely no middle ground! Just like this person on the subway bench stretching into oblivion, booleans only know two states: completely true or utterly false. No "kinda true" or "sorta false" allowed in their binary world! They're the drama queens of programming - always dealing in absolutes while the rest of us float-type variables are just trying to exist somewhere in the decimal points of life.

I Hate Memory Safe Low Level Languages

Oh look, another Rust evangelist has cornered you at the water cooler. The number "18464028364921" isn't random—it's approximately how many times you've heard someone preach about Rust's memory safety while you're just trying to write your C++ in peace. That gun-to-head feeling is the exact sensation when someone starts their fifth lecture about how Rust prevents null pointer dereferences while you're mentally calculating how much time you've wasted listening instead of shipping code. Sure, memory safety is nice, but so is being left alone with your segmentation faults and pointer arithmetic.

It's All LLVM?

The existential crisis moment when you realize all those fancy programming languages (Ada, F#, Rust, Zig, Swift, C) are just elaborate facades for LLVM! Your entire coding career has been a lie—you've been writing glorified LLVM IR with extra steps. That beautiful syntax you've been obsessing over? Just syntactic sugar before the compiler dragon devours it all and spits out the same machine code. Next you'll tell me my mechanical keyboard is just a fancy input device!

Python Is A Sinful Language

Confessing your forbidden love for Python in the programming church? Straight to developer hell! The irony is Python's supposed to be the "pure" language with its clean syntax, yet we're all secretly seduced by its indentation-based structure and one-liners that make other languages look like verbose garbage. The real sin is how productive you become while other devs are still fighting with semicolons and curly braces. Forgiveness not guaranteed from the C++ priesthood.

The Office Hours Protocol

Finally, a professor who speaks our language! The ultimate office hours protocol written in C-style syntax. Notice how there's no exception handling - just like real professors when you ask for an extension. And that Deal_With_Rejection() function? I've implemented that one countless times after code reviews. The best part is the default fallback: no matter what happens, you're probably getting a Come_Back_Later return value anyway. Ten years of engineering experience has taught me this algorithm is frighteningly accurate for human interaction in general.
