C++ gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. If you did not know rope could do that you should have read the manual.
It’s like a chainsaw with all the bells and whistles but all the safety features removed. Sure you can chop wood with it really fast and probably stone too if you #include diamondteeth library, you can even hammer in nails if you #include hammer. But you are alone responsible for your safety and it’s probably not the best tool for any given job.
The incredible thing about this chainsaw is that no two people use it the same way. You think you knew most things about the chainsaw until you see someone else use it. They use a completely different technique, holding it in a way you never considered a possibility, and use buttons you didn’t know were even there - let alone what they are for. They’re equally mystified in terror when they see you use the chainsaw.
No programming language in the world can keep you from shooting yourself in the foot.
No chainsaw in the world can prevent you from chopping your leg off. Modern ones have a kickback bar, safety throttle, chain catcher, centrifugal clutch etc making it harder.
True, but some make it easier than others. In some cases, they default to foot shooting, you have to work to shoot elsewhere.
The bells and whistles would need to be pretty loud to be heard over the regular chainsaw operation noises
Meanwhile, it is a little-known fact that the GNU logo is Richard Stallman’s fursona.
Thanks, I hate it.
Kieth is still preferable to some of the other mascots out there. Looking at you Sudo Sandwich -
will definetly haunt me in my nightmares to come
This will be repooorted.
Apache Pig from the image filename.
But is it accurate in spirit?
Yes
No, it’s a cyborg that has a fully human body with increasingly modern Robots growing out of his head like a AI generated matrioshka doll.
Lower robots have lost some vestigial body parts.
Also no.
Boo
Well OP did ask “is this accurate”, so…
If Brian Lunduke says it’s false, it must be true.
Keith has some issues, but he will still get the job done.
Keith will work his ass of if you show him some love, because he’s not used to that
This is how Keith looks in the hands of Python “programmers”. While being cared by normal specialists, Keith looks gorgeous and healthy. And can do super cool tricks too.

Yes, but takes it a lot more time, while newer and better system languages exist. D even has the advantage of building upon C instead of OCaml (like Rust and a lot of its competitors did), but if you want to opt-out from the garbage collection, you’ll also have to opt-out from most mainstream D libraries.
I pronounce it “Cee Tee Tee”
I would assume so since c++ was made as a joke.
