Language hierarchy Memes

The programming language family portrait nobody asked for but everyone needed! Papa C sits proudly with his offspring, each representing their true nature in the coding ecosystem. C# is the well-behaved child still following Dad's rules. JavaScript is the rebellious teenager with that "I'll do things MY way" hairstyle. Java looks suspiciously like the neighbor who's always borrowing sugar. PHP is that kid who somehow functions despite all odds. Objective C is just trying to stay relevant in the corner. And Lisp? Lisp is the cat because nobody understands what it's saying but it's somehow essential to the household. The family that compiles together, stays together... except JavaScript, who's definitely moving out to become a rockstar.

The evolution of C-based languages depicted through increasingly intense reactions. C is met with boredom. C++ sparks interest. C# triggers excitement. Then we hit whatever unholy abomination C with a snowflake is supposed to be, causing brain meltdown. Finally, C with a tesseract dimension cube transforms our developer into a transcendent being who can see through time and space. Classic progression from "I can code" to "I have become one with the compiler."

Oh, the classic beginner's trap! Someone proudly announces their first "Hello World" program—the coding equivalent of learning to say "mama" as a baby—and gets mocked for being a noob. Then drops the ultimate flex: "Yeah, I wrote it in Assembly." For the uninitiated, writing Hello World in Assembly is like using a chisel and stone to write a grocery list when everyone else is using a pencil. It's unnecessarily hardcore and requires manipulating the computer at nearly its lowest level. While the cool kids are using Python with its cushy high-level abstractions, Assembly programmers are manually pushing bits around like digital coal miners. Nothing says "I'm not actually a beginner" quite like casually mentioning you're programming in a language that makes C look user-friendly.
