I never did like the name "C++". It should be "C + 1". "C++" implies you've assigned the value back to C, in which case you shouldn't be referring to it with the "++" anymore, and if you do that means every time you reference it it gets incremented again.. ridiculous.

Well, I suppose incrementing it every time you reference it is true to the spirit of C++'s featureset

@jordyd That'd explain why when I look into new codebases I see C with more features I hadn't seen or made sense of before.

@jordyd it represents its ever-increasing improvement upon C

it also means C is going to overflow

@nonphatic
So what you're saying is we have to stop talking about it before it overflows

@jordyd @er1n I used to be in an irc channel with a bot that would keep track of words being incremented and decremented, and I believe C was around 2600
