it's much better than the other language called c so i think c++ is the most fitting name

++C?

We can do one better. C++++, or simply put, E. This is extremely fitting as E is a common meme, and perfectly embodies everything that ~~DreamBird~~ C should be.

well, when you are using one language, does the fact that that programming languages exist really matter? i think we should avoid global scope and just refer to it as "the (programming) language". it should be clear from context, and if it's not clear, it's probably someone else's problem.

How about CScript? You can cash in on the hype around that other language and as a bonus make it sound similar enough to confuse recruiters for the next 30 years or so.

I think it should be called BEST (Berd Emphemeral Somnogenic Tropism), stylised 'best'.

Advantages People can refer to 'the best programming language' without ambiguity. best is the best programming language. This would save countless hours of pointless, fruitless debate. Easy to market.

Disadvantages The time freed might be used by developers to develop software of some kind, which averages out to be actually pretty catastrophically bad for humanity.

I think it should be simply called "" as it may get created by other todes jk just call it C## (imagine it's 3D) jk just call it jk jk just call it perfect (Pre-eaten Refactorable emotional cat by TodePond) jk i think E is nice

What about calling it "Wayland", as a better alternative to twitter/X?

Then, when Elon Musk rename to twitter, he won't be able to choose it

I think it should be ++C

During renaming we should consider which names have symbols for them in the Unicode Math block so we can avoid having to design a complicated logo

abb128 avatar Aug 07 '23 03:08 abb128

From the feature of the syntax, I vote for 'C!!', or 'Cā—ā—' to show support for Unicode.

Rename the language to "šŸ‘€", because only šŸ‘€ can C. Also it represents the revolutionary advances in unicode proessing of the language

Z!! because it's a perfect programming language and nothing better will ever come after Z

C[-1]++!

It could just be called "Best" or "Perfect", because the perfect language doesn't need any other name.

Then what about naming it C!! or if you are bold then C!!!!!!

A -> this language doesn't exist, but it's the first letter of Assembler B -> derived from BCPL (1966) C -> meant to successor of B (1972) C++ -> meant to be better C, but not so much (1983) C# -> he wants to better than C++, but they didn't like to call it C++++ (2000) D -> it should be the true successor of C (2001) -- from here they messed the timeline E -> this tried to skip some letters to travel into future (1997) F -> stands just for FORTRAN F#, F* -> stands for Functional... ....

Z -> the definitive programming language. the name is not taken yet

ā„‚

Because it is for representing the complexity of life, what we are and what we will be... The truth is that everything is linked, by this language. C is not beautiful enough to describe this project, this monument, only ā„‚ can do it. ā„‚ is C but better, the use of the utf-8 character make us able to use it as a logo even in text. We will copyright it as soon as possible.

++C?

I heard it's faster!

Suggestion: wouldn't it be like, fair use or something if you kept it called C, but considered it a satire of the other language? I think this could be implemented pretty easily by having "Dennis Ritchie is dumb" log to the console any time the compiler/interpretter starts up.

Why not use F to pay respects? Oh, that reminds me of F (F-Sharp) it's already made by big dada.
