A close-up photo of a computer graphics glossary page, with entries for C and C++. The joke is that C is called “God's programming language,” while C++ is described as the language of a pagan deity, playfully mocking C++ as a less divine or more complicated successor. It can be sent as a programming reaction to debates about C versus C++ or jokes about language elitism.
