Must be a repost, and I can't do due diligence pedantry on the C, but I hadn't seen this before and it's worth sharing:

It's not C. Looks like Java to me.

[jammy-git]

JavaScript.

Whatever it is, it's this new-fangled "object oriented" rubbish, so not C.

[SystemParanoia]

haha like it

[Einion Yrth]

Most likely C# although most of the newer C derived dialects look pretty similar.

I take exception to that!

On closer inspection, it doesn't quite work, the break in the switch statement is an escape from #region reality, and must occur any way the wind blows.

My understanding of the #region in languages like C# is that it is just an IDE directive to make it easier to collapse code.

Certainly in C++ that break statement in the switch statement would just exit the switch statement, not the while loop.

So that code would just loop infinitely, once an exception had been caught.

Fair play, you're right - lazy parsing on my part - must be tired.

There's some tragic and painful irony in that image given my experience of both, I've certainly ended up in some rabbit holes with Linux. Probably on a weekly basis too, though my recent favourite was trying to work out why all the NIC's on a server had swapped places

let thems = new FightingWords();

let? LET?

I see we have a BASIC programmer amongst us.

It was Javascript ES6 actually.

Fair enough; it's not something I program in. I was just surprised to see "let" as it is a keyword I always associate with BASIC when growing up.

I'm not sure I like it. It makes each declaration sound like you're about to say something profound.

let bygones = bygones.

Better than Perl. Putting "my" in front of all your variables sounds so selfish...
