Atomic Addition Infix Operator

(atomicint) infix ⚛️+= Defined as: multi sub infix:<⚛️+=>(atomicint $ is rw, int $value) multi sub infix:<⚛️+=>(atomicint $ is rw, Int() $value) Performs an atomic addition on a native integer. This will be performed using hardware-provided atomic operations. Since the operation is atomic, it is safe to use without acquiring a lock. Evaluates to the result of the addition. Overflow will wrap around silently. If $value is too big to unbox to a 64-bit integer, an exception will be thrown. If $value otherwise overflows atomicint then it will be silently truncated before the addition is performed.

Скриншот документации по языку программирования с определением инфиксного оператора ⚛️+= для атомарного сложения целых чисел. Шутка строится на чрезмерно серьёзном описании необычного оператора с эмодзи атома и технических деталях о переполнении и блокировках; такой мем отправляют программистам как абсурдный пример низкоуровневого кода. EN: A programming-language documentation screenshot defining the ⚛️+= infix operator for atomic integer addition. The joke comes from the overly serious description of an unusual operator featuring an atom emoji, along with technical details about overflow and locks; programmers share it as an absurd low-level code example.
