Create Your Own Programming Language

I cannot stop thinking about this. Andrew created Zig and ~15 years ago asked on SO how to open a file in C++ How do you open a file in C++? Asked 14 years, 11 months ago Modified 2 years ago Viewed 190k times I want to open a file for reading, the C++ way. I need to be able to do it for: text files, which would involve some sort of read line function. binary files, which would provide a way to read raw data into a char* buffer. 1. Ask how to open a file using C++ 2. See the answers 3. Create your own language It's the boss move.

The meme shows a tweet quoting an old Stack Overflow question about opening a file in C++, followed by a reply listing the steps: ask how to do it, read the answers, and create your own programming language. The punchline is that Andrew Kelley allegedly responded to the difficulty by creating Zig, turning a beginner programming question into an absurdly ambitious solution.
