      Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:

      When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

      Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

      Then you die.

          My 21 year old is pretty into rust and html. Does that count?

          I’m pretty ignorant on most of it. In my youth, I just dabbled trying to lean basic on a c64 and AMOS on the Amiga though, so maybe not lol

          e: I think I missed the joke, probably because I’m old lol

      For some reason, this just sparked an ancient memory of the Geek Code, which was a sort of signature block you could append to your emails and online bios to show off how much of a geek you were in the geekiest fashion possible.

      Goddamn I’m old.

        Remember it spawning a bunch of copycats? For a while every community had their own code block. I wrote one for a usenet group i was in at the time.

        alt.sysadmin and alt.sysadmin.recovery both had em iirc…

    I’ve seen forms of this joke quite a lot in the last few years, and it never fails to make me laugh.

            Sure! It doesn’t do anything yet, I just have a text file with how I’m intending to architect it.

            It quite literally started two four (edit: I can’t keep track of time) days ago.

            I’ll configure a repo, stick this in a file, and push it. I’ll reply with another comment so you (and others) can look it up.

            I’ve come up with some crazy stuff. Instead of something like “class” to indicate a class, it’s

            🏫 Followed by the emoji name of the class like 🖼️📁. So it will need to be able to handle operators in the name it’s amazingly gross! Properties and methods will also be emoji names, like to get the 🖼️📁 “File Name” it would be 📁💳.

              I was kind of being sarcastic. I haven’t written a compiler since I rode my dinosaur to college. Still it’s a funny idea. Could probably do it in C using a bunch of pound defines.

                I was thinking Rust, but that works too.

                Because then I could call the Language Spoons.

                It would as uncomfortable to use as it is to watch Rusty Spoons
