Show HN: A Poem about C
they can burn all the books
they can strike all the laws
they’ll try this and that
(what won’t they try?)
they’ll make us all run laundromats
they’ll poison the water
they’ll cut down the trees
they’ll starve all the otters
they’ll kill all the bees
but after all is said and done
they won’t have killed C

when i lay awake at night, there in the clockwork of my brain
i know the code was not right, but i will not code it again
it matters not how severe the bug, nor how the fixers will be stumped
when they uncover the hole i dug, seg fault (core dumped)
That’s excellent. Would it be okay to use your poem in a book someday, with the proper attribution (it would be a book about writing C)?
By all means.
Thank you! It may never actually happen, but I'll attempt to post back here if/when it does.
I think C is not an offense but an insult to reason.
