What The Entry Point

What The Entry Point
The gradual descent into programming madness: First panel: Rust's clean, explicit entry point. Simple. Elegant. Second panel: C/C++'s classic int main(). Familiar territory. Third panel: Python's cryptic "__name__ == '__main__'" check that makes you question your life choices. Fourth panel: The existential crisis that follows when you realize you've been staring at different entry point syntaxes for so long that you've forgotten what sunlight feels like. The four horsemen of "how the hell do I start this program again?"

The first two panels show our protagonist happily accepting normal entry point functions in Rust and C/C++. "Yeah, that makes sense!" she cheerfully exclaims. Then panel three hits with Python's bizarre if __name__ == '__main__': pattern - the cursed incantation every Python dev has blindly copy-pasted a thousand times without questioning why we need this arcane check just to run a damn script. And that final panel? Pure existential horror. Seven years into my career and I still type this abomination with muscle memory while silently wondering who hurt the Python designers.

Sacrificed a potential relationship to explain the entry point of every Java program. That tear isn't from rejection—it's from realizing you spent an hour explaining method signatures instead of making actual conversation.

Somewhere out there, she's writing her first Hello World while you're back to debugging in solitude. The curse of knowledge strikes again.
