C++ Trying to Prevent Raw Pointers

C++ raw pointers trying to prevent people from using raw pointers

A typographic programming joke labels the two plus signs in “C++” as an attempt to prevent people from using raw pointers. The punchline is that C++ added abstractions and safer memory-management tools, but the language still prominently contains “++”, humorously suggesting it is trying to stop raw pointer use.
