And all the other esolangers laughed at him, saying that it wasn't an interesting esolang at all, because it didn't have any interesting restrictions, it was just a thin layer of syntax obfuscation for ordinary programming languages. 21:05:42 They pointed him at what they considered good examples of esolangs, like Intercal which doesn't allow ordinary arithmetic, or befunge which didn't allow ordinary control flow. 21:07:02 Plus C fooled non-esolangers the same way, it got picked up by hackers like Ken Thompson, and the esolangers told him that the rule was that if the language is used in production then it's not an actual esolang. 21:07:49 And with that excuse, they didn't allow him to create a page for C on the esolang wiki, and refused his membership application to the esolanger club, and didn't allow him into esolanger parties. 21:08:08 But Dennis didn't despair, because he knew that his time would come soon and that he would have the last laugh. 21:08:43 And indeed, more and more people were fooled by the apparent transparency of C. Hackers were using it to write real programs, because C allowed you to write code in what seems like clever ways. 21:09:27 And the hackers wrote all the clever optimizations to save a few clock cycles or bytes of memory, while C allowed their program to be easier to port among different computers. 21:10:02 But the hackers didn't like writing documentation, so when other hackers started using the same clever subroutines, they didn't notice that those optimizations came with boundary conditions that made the code fail in certain circumstances. 21:10:41 And they used the clever subroutines, and found them to be working when they tried the code, but when the time came to run the code with untrusted input as an internet service, the security bugs came up. 21:11:40 And by the time the hackers noticed that C encouraged those kids of clever tricks, it was too late, they were all ensnared by Dennis Ritchie's trap. They looked around and saw that all the network infrastructure and operating systems and basic tools have now been implemented in C, 21:11:55 and riddled with obscure security bugs that are hard to debug. 21:12:36 And that's not all. Eventually computers became cheap enough and got industry applications, so it was no longer only hackers who wrote code for them. Code monkeys started to write code by imitating what they saw in the hacker's programs. 21:13:31 And since all the existing programs were written in C, that's what the code monkeys wrote too. And the code monkeys weren't writing clever optimizations, they wrote code by successive approximation with a hammer and always kept the first working version rather than trying to come up with clever tricks. 21:13:57 But that didn't save their code either, for C was so cleverly designed, that even such straightforward programs will have bugs. 21:15:03 The code monkeys liked how C came with useful library functions, such as strcat to concatenate strings, but their tiny little monkey brain couldn't understand that strings need to be stored somewhere in memory in a large enough array and that they mustn't use memory after its lifetime. 21:15:26 So their code was full of buffer overflows and use after free and uninitialized pointers. 21:16:20 And all the esolangers ended up in consultant jobs where they had to try to untangle the buggy programs that the code monkeys wrote, and teach them good programming practice, each of which was hopeless because the companies insisted on using C because it was the industry standard, 21:16:38 all the while the esolangers couldn't even trust their own tools, because they too were written in C and had bugs. 21:17:21 And when the day of judgement comes, Dennis Ritchie will arise from his grave and hold trial over all the esolangers who doubted his language and didn't allow him in esolanger circles, 21:19:17 and they will be forced to recant their views in ironic ways. The esolangers who made esoteric languages with bounded tape size and bignum cells will now have to spend double exponential time in purgatory to cleanse their soul in a horribly slow [-] loop where they have to recant not only their own insulting statements towards Ritchie, 21:20:21 but also all other possible insulting statements not longer than that. The people who invented two-dimensional esolangs will lose their sanity and will run around without end in a tight loop of four cells. 21:21:17 And only the esolangers pure in heart will be spared, the likes of Arthur Whitney who helped Ritchie's scheme of getting esoteric languages into production. 21:21:44 Do you suppose we could adopt this as an offical creation myth of esolangs? 21:25:09 -!- xkapastel has joined. 21:30:35 -!- tromp has joined. 21:43:36 `? dmr 21:43:37 dmr? ¯\(°​_o)/¯ 21:43:40 `?
