The C Plus Paradox

Description

A cartoon laboratory scene shows two scientists near a large time-machine-like device and control panels. The excited scientist emerging from the machine says, "I went back in time and killed the founder of \" C+\" language." The other scientist, holding a clipboard, asks, "What C+?" and a small "t.me/dev_meme" watermark appears at the lower left. The joke is a programming-language wordplay on C++, imagining a timeline where removing the creator or one increment operator leaves only the nonsensical intermediate language name "C+."
