Same Function, Different Languages

APL R C# Python JS C++ {w+2} |x| x + 1 x ⇒ x + 1 Lambda x: x + 1 function(x) { return x + 1; } []<> (const auto& x) noexcept(noexcept(x + 1)) → decltype(x + 1) { return x + 1; }

A simple function that adds one to x is shown in progressively more complicated programming languages, from concise notation to verbose C++. The joke is that the same trivial operation becomes increasingly elaborate, making it a reaction to overengineering, programming-language complexity, or unnecessarily complicated code.
