C++ Versus Java Work Rules

Text on the meme

SUNNY STREET KNOW THE WORK RULES APPROPRIATE Define function signatures in a .h file. Wow, decoupling definition and implementation is so smart. INAPPROPRIATE Define method signatures in an interface. Eww, boilerplate that I'm way too smart for C++ Java

What it means

A comic contrasts a C++ programmer approving header-file function declarations with a Java programmer rejecting interface method declarations as unnecessary boilerplate. The joke targets programming-language tribalism and the inconsistent standards developers may apply to similar concepts in different languages. It is shared as a reaction to language snobbery or debates about abstraction and boilerplate.
