Language rivalry Memes

Ah yes, the annual gathering where programming languages come together to express their mutual disdain. Notice how the room is completely empty? That's because every language thinks it's superior to all others while simultaneously being hated by everyone else. After two decades in this industry, I've watched developers pledge undying loyalty to languages that will be obsolete before their student loans are paid off. The "I'll add one language every day" threat is just perfect - like we need another language to solve the same problems slightly differently while creating twelve new ones.

Ah, the classic "C/C++ is dead" narrative that's been circulating since approximately the Jurassic period. This meme perfectly captures the eternal resilience of C/C++ despite countless obituaries written by trendy language evangelists. Every few years, some shiny new language comes along promising to be the "C++ killer" - yet there's C/C++, smugly posing next to its own grave, refusing to die. Meanwhile, critical infrastructure, operating systems, game engines, and performance-critical applications are still running on these supposedly "ancient" languages. The smirk says it all: "Nice try, Rust/Go/whatever... I've been declared dead more times than a soap opera villain, and I'm still powering the world while you're trying to figure out your package manager."
