That was so much more fun than it had any right to be.

  I was fine till I hit sussin.

Z++
- Reminder that yeet is a keyword in rust
  
  Is it synonymous with eject?
How regular C++ feels if English isn’t your first language

- Yeah...
  
  store this gem on Codeberg instead!

That's called a Domain-specific Language.
I was following along until the bussin loop. What is it trying to yeet?
- yeet cap rn
  
  It's right there!
- I believe it outputs the prime factors of the number you gave it.
  
  The yeet value is just specifying if the function succeeded or not
  
  I found this amusing enough to try it out. It does actually compile (I used g++ for this). However, the current implementation just goes into an infinite loop if you enter a number >= 2.
  
  I think the original author meant to do n -= 1 rn in the tweakin loop that is inside the bussin loop. That way, at some point n % i finna cap will be false, and i will bouta. Which then makes the expression i <= n in the bussin loop eventually false, so we stop bussin and yeet cap rn.
  
  However, that would mean that the intention of the program isn't to output prime factors, because even with this fix it does not do so. The structure of mf chief() also doesn't suggest that is the purpose as it is missing another tweakin and sussin like this example of calculating prime factors in C++.
  
  Example run:
  
  $ ./zpp.exe Enter a number larger than 1: 50 2 7 8 47
- Returns a zero, I think.
Finally, an actual programming language. So long, Fortran.
ngl, SQL could use some rejuvenation

Gen-X here. Is it weird that I found the Z++ version easier to read?
- Millennial here, this is unironically way better, I wanna code in slang from now on.
fr, I didn't know dat macros could be used to make nu programming languages.
- #define is nothing but a search and replace from the preprocessor.
  
  I've been burned one too many times with #include which replaces the directive with the contents of the included headers file (I think that if you're truly evil you can even include straight .c files and forgo headers entirely)
Ages ago downloaded some code for handling volume control for me to extend, it was a VB developer using c and they did the same, I just closed it and found some other code to use. 🙄
So...you took C++, and turned it into COBOL. I'm not sure if I'm impressed or horrified.
This feels like those boomer comics about how dumb millennials are
You could do this so much better than this
Gangsta C++, for the ammo endowed.
Finally! I'm now deadass hip with the new lingo.
LETTSSS GOOOOOO
The count of imports or the syntax?
- #define is not an import
  
  Wow, guess i was tired.
- There's only one “import”, for <stdiostream>
No, gen Z C++ requires you to type fn for every function, weakly typed (type systems are scary), and every value is constant by default (variables are super scary and bad).
